This should make your day a tad sweeter: Dunkin’ Donuts is opening another local shop in San Diego next week, this time in downtown San Diego.
The chain’s newest location – at 225 Broadway, the former site of NBC 7 San Diego – will swing open its doors at 5 a.m. Wednesday, with a grand opening party that includes giveaways and a chance for patrons to sample some menu items. The first customer in line that day will get a $100 Dunkin’ Donuts gift card; the first 50 customers will get a swag bag filled with goodies.

The new downtown location will serve the chain’s full menu including its fresh-brewed coffee, doughnuts, sandwiches and more. It will be open seven days a week, from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday, and 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.
This shop will be operated by Burton Restaurants, LLC, a business owned by a group of disabled U.S. military veterans. The group also owns and runs five other Dunkin' Donuts restaurants in San Diego County: Camp Pendleton, MCAS Miramar, Balboa Naval Hospital, the shop at Embassy Suites on Pacific Highway in downtown San Diego, and National City's 24-hour drive-thru location on East Plaza Boulevard, which opened last year.
