Members of the local community and Dunkin’ fans alike poured into Dunkin’s newly remodeled next generation restaurant at 235 West Main Street in Smithtown on Thursday, Oct. 3 as part of its grand reopening ceremony.
Dunkin’ franchisee Scott Campbell of Metro Franchising commemorated the occasion with a $2,500 donation to the Association for Mental Health and Wellness. The Association for Mental Health and Wellness offers comprehensive services and advocacy that focuses on mental health as well as overall health and wellness for the Long Island region.
“I am so grateful to Scott Campbell and Metro Franchising for welcoming the Association for Mental Health and Wellness to the grand reopening of the 235 West Main Street store,” said Association for Mental Health and Wellness Chief Executive Officer Colleen Merlo. “It is wonderful that Dunkin’ embraces community connection and service. The commemorative gift will support MHAW’s Veteran Peer Support Dwyer Project, so we can continue to reach out to veterans who need a peer to talk to. We owe our veterans so much and we are grateful to the Dunkin’ franchisees for their partnership.”
The celebration also included New York State Assemblyman Michael J. Fitzpatrick, members of the Suffolk County Police Department’s Fourth Precinct, members of the Smithtown Fire Department and representatives on behalf of U.S. Congressman Nick LaLota, who joined Dunkin’ representatives for a commemorative ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The morning featured all guests receiving a free medium hot or iced coffee and a donut, while many other Dunkin’ Rewards members spun the Dunkin’ prize wheel for free Dunkin’ merchandise.
The 1,200-square-foot Dunkin’ employs 15 crew members and is open daily from 5 a.m. until 10 p.m.
