The next generation store features modern design, a new glassed-in donut display case up front, and “Premium Pours,” an innovative new tap system serving cold bever- ages such as coffees, iced teas, cold brew coffee and nitro-infused cold brew coffee. Even though Dunkin’ has dropped “Donuts” from its name, they didn’t drop the donuts. “Our menu is the same. We’re selling more donuts,” said Paul Sardinha. He said the store also expanded its espresso beverage line a few months ago, with new machinery and better technology.
