Dunkin’ will formally open a downtown Wilmington location on Friday.
Downtown Visions Executive Director Martin Hageman, and other guests will be on hand for the ribbon cutting at 11 a.m. on Friday.
The location at 701 North Market St. is in a refurbished historic building.
Dunkin’ will offer customers a 99-cent medium hot coffee or iced coffee from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. with proceeds benefiting The Wilmington Library. Also, customers who bring canned goods to donate to the Food Bank of Delaware will receive a free medium coffee.
“We are pleased to welcome the Patel family to our growing Downtown District family,” said Mayor Mike Purzycki. “I am confident that Dunkin’ will be a fine addition to the many new eating and drinking establishments up and down Market Street. Downtown Wilmington continues to grow and thrive, emblematic of the many good things happening all around our city each and every day.”
Dunkin’ last fall dropped the Donuts from its name, a reflection of a broader selection of menu items. It has not changed its web addresss, which retains the donuts name.
The latest Wilmington store features the new signage and name Dunkin’ and will be open seven days a week. It will also offer free Wi-Fi. With Dunkin’s On-the-Go Mobile Ordering.
While not everyone will cheer on a franchise addition to downtown, Dunkin,’ and its seven-day operation will offer an option for residents and workers in the city, especially when it comes to fans of its coffee and doughnuts.
