t’s official. Rochdale Village now has a Dunkin’ Donuts/BaskinRobbins franchise operating inside Mall #2. A ribbon cutting ceremony took place on Friday, September 30 hosted by franchisee owner Scott Campbell, members from Rochdale’s Board of Directors, and dignitaries like Albee Mascall, Chief of Staff for Senator James Sanders, Jr. and Assembly Member Vivian E. Cook. Dunkin’ Donuts lovable mascot ‘Cuppy’ even made a grand appearance for the occasion. In preparation for Friday’s ribbon cutting, an open hiring event was held at the shop’s location on Saturday, September 10. As a result, 15 individuals
from the Rochdale Village community gained employment. From the time of the hiring fair to the store’s recent opening, trainees worked around the clock learning the registers, baking equipment and how to perform customer service processes that will prepare them for the onslaught of excited consumers looking forward to an alternative dining option. The store has ample seating for patrons that prefer to eat in rather than take their meal on the go. Guests will be happy to know that this Dunkin’ Donuts bakes its’ goods fresh daily on the premises. Rochdale’s Dunkin’ Donuts/Baskin-Robbins combo will be open seven days a week from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.
