The Dunkin Donuts location at 3900 Dempster St. is due to be demolished and replaced with a new location of the same franchise. (Google Maps)
SKOKIE, IL The Skokie Village Board this month unanimously approved a plan to demolish an existing drive-thru Dunkin Donuts on Dempster Street and replace it with a new drive-thru Dunkin Donuts in the same location.
Local franchisee Reena Panjwani Khowaja and architect Steve Kolber of Evanston-based Kolbrook Design told the plan commission last month that the new facility would meet updated corporate standards and include a slightly larger footprint.
The existing building described in village materials as 60 to 70 years old and listed as 53 years old by the Cook County Assessor s Office has served its useful life, they said, and the new one will include a better parking layout and a more efficient drive-thru flow. There will also be a patio for open-air dining.
