Back in 2006, Dunkin’ Donuts launched a memorable campaign around the slogan “America Runs on Dunkin’.” Given that the brand is currently approaching 10,000 U.S. locations (with about 9,990 currently open, 928 of which are in Florida), this is less a slogan than a statement of fact!
As the chain continues to grow nationwide, Dunkin’ now looks to be launching a new location in Mulberry. This week, What Now came across plan review documents submitted by Shepherd Rd Donuts LLC that show a new Dunkin’ location opening at 5930 Imperial Parkway.
Opening between Shepherd Road and Imperial Lakes Boulevard, Dunkin’ would join restaurants like Shanghai Chinese Restaurant, Palace Pizza, and Sitar Indian American Buffet.
In other Dunkin’ news, the brand announced its new Valentine’s Day menu last week:
“Dunkin’ is celebrating the season of love with a Valentine’s Day lineup made for sweet cravings, easy gifting and a little extra fun,” the announcement said. “Beginning today, guests can welcome back one of the brand’s top-selling donuts, Brownie Batter, along with a suite of flirty new beverages, and limited-edition Valentine’s Day MUNCHKINS® Tins – all joining Dunkin’s existing lineup.”
It also lists the following new menu items:
- Heart Eyes Daydream Refresher: Strawberry Dragonfruit Refresher with blueberry flavor and oatmilk, topped with Sweet Cold Foam.
- Chocolate Covered Strawberry Daydream Refresher: Strawberry Dragonfruit Refresher with oatmilk, finished with a decadent Chocolate Cold Foam.
- Blush Spritz Refresher: Strawberry Dragonfruit Refresher topped with sparkling water for a crisp, bubbly twist.
- Toxic Ex-Presso Cloud Latte: Espresso with mocha swirl and raspberry flavor, finished with Chocolate Cold Foam.
- Sweet On You Cloud Latte: Espresso blended with whole milk, caramel swirl and coconut flavor, topped with Sweet Cold Foam.
- The Perfect Matcha: Matcha green tea mixed with whole milk and topped with Sweet Cold Foam.
- Buff Chai: Chai syrup combined with Protein Milk, available hot or iced, delivering 15 grams of protein* in a medium beverage.
Meanwhile, we’ll see the return of the brand’s heart-shaped donuts, including the Brownie Batter Classic Donut (filled with chocolatey, brownie-batter-flavored buttercreme and finished with chocolate icing and sprinkles) and the Cupid’s Choice Classic Donut (filled with Bavarian Kreme, topped with strawberry flavored icing and festive sprinkles).
What Now reached out on Friday to franchisee Kareem Mustafa to ask about plans for a Mulberry Dunkin’ location. Mustafa was not immediately available for comment.
