Four months after the City of Clarkesville announced that plans were in the works for bringing a Dunkin’ Donuts and Baskin Robbins to the city, construction has begun on the chain.
The city has cleared the renovations the builder will need to do to set up shop, as well as plans for signage.
Located in the old Yakimono Express, renovations will include interior and exterior updates, and new signs for the storefront. Clarkesville Planning and Zoning Director Caleb Gaines tells Now Habersham that the business may have recently received health department approval, too.
According to Clarkesville Dunkin’ owner James Laskaris, construction is moving along and the storefront should open early-to-mid June.
In Cornelia, after a brief hiatus in construction, Cornelia Community Development Director Jessie Owensby says that construction on their Dunkin’ should resume April 1.
