Coffee-and-donut behemoth Dunkin’ Donuts is continuing to grow in Northeast Florida. In the last month, What Now has reported on plans for a new Dunkin’ in Oakleaf Plantation, and another in Jacksonville. Up next? The master-planned community of SilverLeaf in St. Augustine.
Word of this new location first got out back in January, when Jax Today reported on the opening of a new Dunkin’ in Hastings, brought to the area by franchisee St. Johns Donuts. It mentioned plans on the part of the franchisee for another Dunkin’ in SilverLeaf.
Then, this week, the Jacksonville Daily Record reported on documents submitted for a 2,000-square-foot Dunkin’ Donuts in an upcoming Publix-anchored retail center located at the intersection of St. Johns Parkway and Silverleaf Parkway.
What Now reached out on Friday to John Griffey, one of the partners in St. Johns Donuts, to ask about the planned rollout for the SilverLeaf Dunkin’. Griffey was not immediately available for comment.
In other Dunkin’-related news (there’s always more!), the brand introduced its new as new sugar-free energy drink this week. It’s called Dunkin’ Zero.
“Available in six bold, fruit-forward flavors, Dunkin’ Zero delivers 20 calories in a medium and zero grams of sugar,” says an announcement. “It’s a crisp, lightly carbonated sip made for moments when guests want to reset and keep moving. For many, Dunkin’ is how the morning starts. Dunkin’ Zero picks it up from there, keeping the day going between meetings, on the go, in the carpool line – and into whatever comes next.”
Pretty soon, SilverLeaf may be stopping by its new Dunkin’ for Dunkin’ Zero flavors like Blackberry Tangerine, Tropical Mango, Juicy Peach, and more.
