Dunkin' Donuts is opening another metro location.
I reported last week that Dunkin' Donuts is making good on its pledge to grow its store count in the metro area. In addition to the new location that just opened at Piedmont and Rock Springs Roads, other locations are coming soon to Little Five Points, Smyrna and Suwanee.
A reader brought to my attention that another location is in the works, this on Howell Mill Road, towards west midtown. The new Dunkin' Donuts will soon take the place of the KFC at 1766 Howell Mill Road, across from the Kroger anchored Howell Mill Square Shopping Center.
The area in which the new Dunkin' will open is cluttered with plenty of fast food options such as Wendy's and Taco Bell in addition to Waffle House and Chick-fil-A. The KFC was for a time co-branded with sister YUM! Brands concept Pizza Hut, but from what I recall, had been operating as simply a KFC recently.
Last year a Church's Chicken opened in place of a shuttered KFC on Ponce de Leon Avenue.

The KFC recently closed and the Dunkin' will hopefully open before the end of the year.
