Dunkin’ Donuts is getting closer to opening in Warren.

The location is one of the busiest intersections in Warren – 333 Jackson Run Road, the corner lot opposite Bob Evans and next to Sheetz at the intersection of Route 62 and Jackson Run Road.

The Warren Dunkin’ Donuts will be part of the BAPA Network.

According to that organization, they bring over 50 years experience to operating Dunkin’ Donuts franchises

“(W)e have consistently looked to expand upon our footprint through both acquisitions and new store development,” their site explains. “Doing such we have built a proven track record of successful undertakings which has established Bapa Network as a leader in the field.

Savannah Casey, director of operations with the Warren County Chamber of Business and Industry, said she met Wednesday with a regional manager for the firm.

“She said their tentative date of opening is sometime in early April,” Casey said. “They are actually in the initial stages of hiring right now.”

Casey said that the firm is looking to hire 25-30 people and added that they do hire high school students.

She added that the same company also owns Dunkin’ Donuts locations in Bradford and one set to break ground next month in Corry.

The company operates Dunkin’ Donuts in New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont.

County assessment records show that “BAPA Jackson Run Re LLC” purchased the property for $400,000 in December 2021.
