BLUE POINT, NY — Dunkin' Donuts is looking to potentially take over a former bank in Blue Point.
The coffee shop chain proposed opening its latest location on 60 Montauk Highway, previously home to a Capital One bank. The new Dunkin' would be located just down the road from the existing store on 33 Montauk Highway.
A meeting to discuss the proposal was originally scheduled by the Blue Point Community Civic Association for May 18, but had to be canceled.
