The Dunkin’ Donuts opened at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, August 24, on Radford Boulevard in Dillon, S.C.
It took 3 years for Peter Patel to find a location suitable for the business.
Patel had some of his leaders and team members from other areas here for the smooth opening. He operates locations in Rocky Mount, New Bern, Godsboro, Whiteville, and many other locations.
Patel thanked everyone for coming out for the event. He stated “We have an opening every month.” He thanked his vendors, the City of Dillon including Benny Genwright who was very helpful.
During the ribbon cutting, Patel had family, team leaders, and others with picture opportunities.
In fact, one of his young daughters gave a speech.
Many were present as cars lined up for an opportunity to enjoy one of America’s favorite coffee and baked goods and also Dunkin’ Rewards.
