ESCANABA, Mich. (WZMQ) – A franchise specializing in all things sweet has opened a new location in Escanaba.
Wisconsin-based TMart Operations I LLC has brought a combination Dunkin’ and Baskin-Robbins to 111 North Lincoln Road. The business offers hot and iced coffees, Refreshers, doughnuts, breakfast sandwiches, ice cream, ice cream cakes, and other treats.
The shop’s general manager is Chris Jahnke, who recently opened Charlie Charlie Soap Co. in the Delta Plaza Mall. He says the Dunkin’ and Baskin-Robbins team is excited to serve Delta County.
“This is something that people really wanted to have,” he said. “I know a lot of people are transplants from downstate, so when they come up here and they see the Dunkin,’ it’s just something that brings back that core memory for them. It’s really cool to be a part of that and have their kids experience the same thing that they got to experience.”
Jahnke is most proud of the franchise’s dedication to supporting the communities in which it operates.
“Dunkin’s Joy in Childhood Foundation is a means for us to give back,” he said. “We do fundraising, and all the donations that are here at the store do go back to our community. Some places might take the donations, and it goes all over, but it gets reinvested into our local community. With our fundraising ventures through Baskin’s side, we’re able to support local teams, schools, charitable organizations, and we can raise a lot of money for them. The biggest part of what I’m going to be doing here is making sure that we can be integrated in the community and just give back as much as we can.”
Dunkin’ and Baskin-Robbins will host a grand opening celebration on Saturday, November 14, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
