Outdoor signage and decor are beginning to take shape at the future Dunkin’ location at 4011 Norbeck Road in Rockville.
Construction began earlier this year after the coffee and donut chain received its permit for the new store, which is replacing the longtime home of Sassy Cleaners. The dry cleaning business operated at the site for roughly 30 years before closing in June 2025, marking the end of a familiar neighborhood staple.
Crews have now started installing exterior branding elements, with Dunkin’s signature colors and signage beginning to appear on the building. The updates signal a shift from early construction work to more visible finishing stages as the space continues to take shape.
Plans for the Norbeck Road location were first reported in August 2025. Once complete, the Dunkin’ will join a small shopping center that includes Angelo’s Deli and EATHAI, and sits near Big Greek Cafe. While an opening date is not yet available, a late spring opening seems very possible.
The Norbeck Road shop is one of several recent and planned Dunkin’ developments across the area. A new location recently opened on Muncaster Road in Derwood, while another is planned as part of the Rockshire Village redevelopment on Wootton Parkway across from Wootton High School, a mixed-use project expected to be completed in 2027. Additionally, a Dunkin’/Baskin-Robbins is set to open in Gaithersburg’s Muddy Branch Square, taking over the former Starbucks space at 898 Muddy Branch Road.
