Dunkin’ has announced it is hosting the grand opening for its newest location in Rockville at 9761 Traville Gateway Drive on Saturday, May 11. Starting at 9:00 a.m., the first 100 guests in line will receive Free Coffee for a Year. Dunkin’ has taken over the 1,500 SF back half of the building that was previously home to Capital One Bank.
Per Dunkin: At 10:00 a.m., local franchisee network Luis Group Management, in partnership with the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation, will host a ribbon cutting ceremony followed by a check presentation to award Driven to Cure with a $3,000 grant to help raise awareness and provide funding for research of rare kidney cancers in children and young adults. From 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., guests can also enjoy free giveaways from the Dunkin’ Prize Wheel, an appearance from the Dunkin’ mascot Cuppy and face painting.
Exciting elements of the new restaurant experience at the Rockville location include:
- Modern Design: The openness, colors and materials used in the design help to create an approachable, positive and energetic environment.
- Premium Pours: Dunkin’s signature cold beverages are now poured through an innovative tap system serving eight consistently cold beverages such as iced coffee, iced tea, Cold Brew and Nitro-Infused Cold Brew. Crew members will also use top-quality flavor-maximizing espresso machines to make hand-crafted drinks to order.
- Dunkin’ on Demand: With fully integrated digital kiosks, guests can choose to order with or without a crew member. Dunkin’ has also introduced an area dedicated to mobile pickups, so that members of the Dunkin’ Rewards program who order ahead via Dunkin’s Mobile App can get in and out of the restaurant faster than ever before.
- Increased Energy Efficiency: 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% more energy efficient compared to conventional Dunkin’ restaurants.
The 2,000 square-foot restaurant employs approximately 20 crew members and is open daily from 5:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. The new restaurant will include a drive-thru and free Wi-Fi. Luis Group Management owns and operates 26 franchises throughout Maryland, including the Rockville location.
