Members of the local community and Dunkin’ fans alike poured into Dunkin’s newly remodeled next generation restaurant at 138-01 Queens Blvd. in the Queens Neighborhood of Briarwood on Thursday, October 16 as part of its grand reopening ceremony.
Dunkin’ franchisee Metro Franchising commemorated the occasion with a $3,000 donation to The Viscardi Center, in conjunction with the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation. The Viscardi Center is a non-profit organization that educates, employs, and empowers children, adults, and veterans with disabilities or similar needs, so they can all discover the love of learning, the power of work, the freedom of independent living, and the self-confidence to fulfill their dreams.
“The Henry Viscardi School is proud to be the recipient of such generous support from Metro Franchising and Dunkin’,” said The Viscardi Center Chief Development Officer Lauren Marzo. “Our relationship spans well over a decade, and Dunkin’s support has helped provide critical programs for our students with severe disabilities. These programs help our students learn, grow and take important steps toward an independent future.”
The celebration also included representatives from the Queens Chamber of Commerce and the office of New York State Senator Leroy Comrie, 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 Briarwood Dunkin’ is open daily from 5 a.m. until 10 p.m.
