Members of the local community and Dunkin’ fans alike poured into Dunkin’s newly remodeled next generation restaurant at 194 Merritts Road in in the village of Farmingdale within the town of Oyster Bay on Thursday, November 20, as part of its grand reopening celebration.
Dunkin’ franchisee Merritts Coffee LLC commemorated the occasion with a $3,000 donation to Long Island Cares Inc., in conjunction with the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation. Founded in 1980 by Harry Chapin, Long Island Cares brings together all available resources for the benefit of the hungry and food insecure on Long Island to support the humanitarian needs of the local community.
“Long Island Cares is deeply appreciative of this generous donation from Merritts Coffee LLC and the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation,” said Long Island Cares Corporate Philanthropy Manager Kaylin Wasilchuk. “With these funds, we will be able to provide 1,890 meals to our neighbors in need. We are extremely grateful for Dunkin’s generosity in the fight against food insecurity on Long Island.”
Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino; Members of the Nassau County Police Department’s Eighth Precinct; Members of the Farmingdale Fire Department; Representatives from the Farmingdale Chamber of Commerce; Representatives from the office of New York State Senator Steven Rhoads; and representatives from the office of New York State Assemblyman John Mikulin joined the celebration and participated in a commemorative ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The morning featured the first 100 Dunkin’ Rewards members in line at 9 a.m. receiving one free medium hot or iced coffee for 100 consecutive days on the Dunkin’ App, while others spun the Dunkin’ prize wheel for free Dunkin’ merchandise.
The newly remodeled, 1,500 square-foot Dunkin’ employs 13 crew members and is open daily from 4:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.
