The new Ashbrook Marketplace shopping center in north Ashburn continues to take shape with the news that a drive-thru Dunkin’ Donuts has signed a deal for the center. (Or just plain “Dunkin’” as the brand is now known.)
Ashbrook Marketplace is the new center going up at the corner of Russell Branch Parkway and Ashburn Village Boulevard, directly in front of the existing Ashbrook Commons shopping center.
Besides Dunkin’ Donuts, the center will include a Lidl grocery store, a Cafe Rio restaurant, a pizza place, a nail salon and a Shell gas station. Another drive-thru restaurant is on the plans as well. (See our previous coverage of Ashbrook Marketplace here.)
Currently, there are two other Dunkin’ Donuts in Ashburn — one in the Broadlands and one in Ashburn Village. The Burn first heard about the new Dunkin’ Donuts deal a couple of weeks ago, but it wasn’t official at the time.
If we have to have another doughnut shop make it a Krispy Kreme. Dunkin doughnuts are lame.
The location is very surprising, considering the Ashburn Village location of DD is about a mile away. Still, I won’t complain.
I second that. #hotdonutsnow
There is already a gas station in that plaza. Yes, we need Krispy Kreme
Actually, this new plaza is a separate plaza from the existing one, so there will be two gas stations. The good news is the same owner owns both, so he will not be negatively impacted by a competitor across the street.
