New Dunkin' Opens On Bristol Pike: 'Restaurant Of The Future'

CROYDON, PA — On Thursday, Dunkin’ will open the doors to its newest next-generation restaurant in Bucks County.

Now, people who live and work in Croydon can "run on Dunkin’" faster and more conveniently than ever before at the new location at 801 Bristol Pike.

In celebration of the restaurant, the new Dunkin’ will host a grand opening from 10 a.m.–12 p.m. on Thursday. At 10 a.m., Dunkin’ will host an official ribbon cutting ceremony followed by a $3,000 donation on behalf of Dunkin’ franchisee Pinank Patel alongside the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation to the Bucks County Opportunity Council.

The celebration will include the Dunkin’-branded prize wheel, Dunkin’-branded giveaways, an appearance by Dunkin’s mascot, Cuppy, and a live DJ — The Music Mann.

The new next-generation restaurant offers Croydon a first-hand look at Dunkin’s store of the future experience, with a modern look that provides a fresh, friendly, vibrant, and engaging environment. Complete with a new, warm interior color palette, the restaurant also offers atmospheric lighting and an innovative tap system.

Exciting elements of the new Croydon store include:

• The openness, colors, and materials used in the design help create an approachable, positive, and energetic environment. Just one example of the eye-catching design elements that guests can expect is a front-facing bakery case for an even closer look at our delicious baked goods.
• Dunkin’s signature cold beverages are poured through an innovative tap system, serving a variety of consistently cold sips, such as iced coffee, iced tea, Cold Brew, and Nitro-Infused Cold Brew — a Next Gen exclusive. Crew members also use top-quality, flavor-maximizing espresso machines to make handcrafted drinks to order.
• Next Gen restaurants are designed to meet DD Green Achievement™ specifications. Stores that achieve DD Green Achievement status are built with sustainable and efficient elements like LED lighting, high-efficiency mechanical equipment, low-flow faucets, and more. DD Green Achievement restaurants are performing better than designed. On average, they are 33 percent more energy efficient compared to conventional Dunkin' restaurants.
• Next Gen restaurants feature a dedicated mobile order pick-up area so guests who order ahead via the Dunkin’ App can get in and out of the restaurant faster than ever before. Guests can track the status of their mobile order placed for in-store pick-up via a digital order status board. At select Next Gen restaurants, there is also a dedicated drive-thru lane for mobile order pick-ups.

The 1,700 square-foot restaurant will employ approximately 20 crew members and is open daily between 5 a.m. and 9 p.m. The new restaurant offers complimentary WiFi for guests and a convenient drive-thru.

Including the new Next Gen Croydon restaurant, Dunkin’ franchisee Pinank Patel currently owns and operates 27 Dunkin’ locations throughout the Greater Philadelphia Area.
