Dunkin’ Is Coming to Gull Road and Coffee Lovers Have Options

Admit it, you still add the 'Donuts' part, don't you? Despite the 2019 rebrand, some habits are just hard to break. It will always be Dunkin' Donuts to me. If you still call it that, you are definitely not alone!

A post shared to a local Kalamazoo Facebook group says Dunkin' is actually already open for business:  "NOW OPEN 4:30AM-9:00PM Daily".

Just like Chick-fil-A and 7 Brew, it seems West Michigan gets a new Dunkin' almost daily. Well, that's an exaggeration, but you get the idea. At what point do we have a coffee problem?

New Dunkin’ Arrives October 15 on Kalamazoo’s Busy Gull Road

After years of speculation, we finally know what's moving into the former KFC on Gull Road in front of Meijer! Back in 2023, I wrote about the rumors swirling around this long-vacant building, and now we're getting our answer. I've watched as the plain white brick exterior transformed into Dunkin's iconic orange-and-pink drive-thru, and thanks to a Facebook ad, I now know there's a celebration planned for Thursday, October 15!

Gull Road has definitely seen its share of changes within the last few years. The return of the GIRT, the addition of Popeye's, 7 Brew, and Chick-fil-A and the loss of Burger King (we still don't know what's happening with that building) and the now-for-sale Wendy's next door.

But through all of this, I can't help but wonder: What locally owned coffee shops can you visit for a latte along Gull Road?

There's the Michigan-based coffee chain Biggby in the Gull Road Shopping Center, and of course the diners that line M-343 such as The Rooster's Call, Roxie's Breakfast & Lunch, and now Berries Famous Pancake House, but these big coffee chains win when it comes to convenience.
