Get excited, Urbandale.
According to the Des Moines Register, Des Moines businessman and doughnut dealer Drew Cownie intends to open three Dunkin' Donuts locations in the metro by the end of this year.
One of those locations will be at the intersection of Aurora Avenue and Merle Hay Road in Urbandale.
Plans are still being developed a store on the northwest corner of this intersection, Cownie told the newspaper. The location is a small part of the former Bob Brown Chevrolet dealership.
Projected opening would be late fall or early winter, the Register reported. Cownie also plans to build stores in Des Moines and Urbandale this year, and is expected to develop a total of 12 Dunkin’ Donuts stores as part of a franchise agreement with the company.
Brother and sister team Jeff Kelderman and Lori Kelderman High recently opened an Ames location, and will also open a Dunkin' Donuts in Ankeny this summer. Reported by Patch 2 hours ago.
