Second Plank Road Dunkin' Donuts to Reopen

For many, it was a sad day in September when three Fredericksburg area Dunkin' Donuts were suddenly closed. 

The local franchises were among 10 in Central Virginia that closed last year as franchise owners and corporate executives continued lawsuit negotiations over franchise fees and rent payments.

The Dunkin' Donuts at 2229 Plank Rd. reopened Dec. 27, 2013, under new management. 

Now a second is preparing to reopen.  The store at 3544 Plank Rd. was to reopen, Jan. 27, but has been delayed, said Lindsay Harrington, Dunkin' Brands Inc. public relations manager.   

"Re-opening events to celebrate and thank the local community will take place at a time to be determined this spring," Harrington said.

The third location at 2601 Salem Church Rd will not re-open, Harrington said.

"Dunkin’ Donuts is committed to the Fredericksburg market, and we look forward to continued development in the coming years," she said.
