ANDERSON, IN - The first of two new
Dunkin' Donuts coming to Anderson before the end of the year is
scheduled to open at 5 a.m. on Thursday, November 20, 2008.
The newly opening Dunkin' Donuts is
located at 14th and Jackson in downtown Anderson. The second
restaurant at 4431 S. Scatterfield Rd. is scheduled to open
mid-December.
Both donut shops are owned by the HSG
Restaurant Group, LLC of Indianapolis, which is rapidly expanding
throughout Central Indiana. They currently own seven Dunkin' Donuts
after opening their first restaurant in downtown Indianapolis in June
of this year.
The group plans to open 40 new Dunkin'
Donuts restaurants in Central Indiana, creating about 2,000 new jobs
over the next five years. HSG is led by Dennis Gramm, who served in
leadership positions within Dunkin' Brands for more than 10 years.
Anderson Mayor Kris Ockomon will help
celebrate the opening of the downtown Anderson Dunkin' Donuts at an 8
a.m. ceremony. A $1,000 cash ribbon will be cut and presented to the
Anderson Indiana Main Street (AIMS) program. AIMS is known locally
for stimulating and enhancing downtown Anderson. The donation from
Dunkin' Donuts will help support downtown programs, including
upcoming concerts and festivals.
The LJ Mechem Band will perform at the
restaurant from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m., and the Dunkin' Donuts sampling
crew will be on hand to pass out free food and beverage samples from
Dunkin' Donuts' breakfast and all-day menus. In addition, WQME-FM
98.7 will be at the store on November 24, 2008 to raffle off two flat
screen televisions.
Both Anderson Dunkin' Donuts will be
open seven days a week and will feature a drive-thru window. The
Anderson locations will also feature the brand's recently updated
store design and its new DDSmart healthy options menu along with its
traditional world famous coffee and baked goods.
Dunkin' Donuts has been serving freshly
ground and freshly brewed coffee and bakery items for more than 58
years. The company sells more donuts and bagels than any other quick
service restaurant in America. They're also the number one retailer
of hot and iced coffee, selling more than one billion cups of coffee
every year throughout the country.
