Dunkin' Donuts Celebrates 60th 'BirthDDay' With Grand Opening of New Restaurant at Lambert International Airport in St. Louis, Tuesday, April 20

ST. LOUIS, April 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Dunkin' Donuts, founded in 1950, is celebrating 60 years of coffee, donuts and baked goods, and the brand is inviting St. Louis residents and travelers alike to join the party with the April 20 grand opening of its new restaurant in Terminal 2 (Southwest Airlines) at Lambert-St. Louis International Airport.

To commemorate the grand opening and Dunkin' Donuts' 60th BirthDDay, Airport Director Rhonda Hamm-Niebruegge will join Milan Patel, who owns and operates the new Dunkin' Donuts/Baskin-Robbins restaurant, and other airport and Dunkin' Donuts officials for an opening ceremony at 10 a.m., Tuesday, April 20.  From 10 – 11 a.m., Dunkin' Donuts costume mascots will distribute $2.00 Dunkin' Donuts cards, and the restaurant will serve Free 14-ounce Hot Coffee with a Free Donut.    

Patel, who resides in St. Louis with his wife Maria and children, is already well-known at Lambert.  He operates four restaurants there in addition to the new Dunkin' Donuts.  He opened his first, Great American Bagel, in 1998 and has since added Pasta House, Carvel Ice Cream and Vienna Beef Hot Dogs.

The Lambert Dunkin' Donuts is Patel's first Dunkin' Donuts and only the second in the St. Louis market.  The first Dunkin' Donuts, owned by Michael Geller, opened March 11 in Kirkwood.  Patel plans to open another DD restaurant in Terminal 1 at the airport later in 2010.  

Lambert Director Rhonda Hamm-Niebruegge added, "Dunkin Donuts has a great following nationwide and we're excited to be the second location to launch in the St. Louis region.  Furthermore, the introduction of Dunkin Donuts fits well with the Airport's long term plan to bring in new and exciting concepts that offer passengers great food, drinks and value."

The new Dunkin' Donuts will operate from 4 a.m. – 9 p.m., seven days a week, and is complemented by a new menu that will include dozens of varieties of donuts, baked goods and beverages.

Dunkin' Donuts is the largest coffee and baked goods chain in the world, selling more than one billion cups of hot and iced coffee and more than 900 million donuts and Munchkins every year. Today, there are more than 6,500 restaurants in 35 U.S. states and the District of Columbia and more than 2,600 international restaurants in 29 countries.
