Dunkin' To Open In Manhattan
The long-awaited coffee and doughnut chain got the green light from Village board members Tuesday.
MANHATTAN, IL — Fans of Dunkin' coffee and doughnuts will soon be able to get their fix in Manhattan, as the Village Board approved at its Aug. 3 meeting a special use permit and plans for a drive-thru at the site where a currently-vacant restaurant sits at 535 W. North St.
The current building will be updated to include a Dunkin' sign on the front of the building, along with additional signage along the sides of the building and updated landscaping, according to the Village.
Manhattan Mayor Mike Adrieansen, through a news release, welcomed the addition of Dunkin' to the community, stating, "the more we promote our Village, the more economic development and sales tax revenues we will receive. This will help us grow the community and keep taxes lower for our residents."
