Time to make the Dunkin' Donuts store
Thursday, November 19, 2015
Ross Payne, a carpenter with contractor James Ainsworth, cuts length for a metal stud frame Wednesday inside the future home of Dunkin' Donuts in Cape Girardeau. The building that once housed Houch's Donuts is being transformed. "We are looking at probably mid-February" for a projected opening date, said Carl Ritter Jr., a member of an investor group that owns a multicounty franchise territory with the national chain. "We are currently going to doughnut school," or training to open the franchise, which should be complete this month, Ritter said. "And then, of course, we will probably be looking at staffing right after the first of the year."
