The new Dunkin' location at 79 East Cedar Street has set a targeted opening date of this coming Thursday, May 23!

It has since been confirmed that the other downtown location at 1095 Main Street, which has operated in the space for many years will close permanently today (5/19) at 7PM. The status of that location had been in question since the new location was announced.

The new shop will feature walk-in service, in addition to a drive-through, which was already in place from the former tenant, Santander Bank that had closed the branch in 2019.

One of our very first posts back in July highlighted franchisee Cary Gagnon's plan for a second Dunkin' store in the center of town. A Pre-Application was heard, and eventually Gagnon officially came to the town with a Public Hearing, which was approved.
