Use: The Dunkin’ store at 1678 Post Road in Warwick is one of several Dunkin’ restaurants to feature the brand’s “next-generation” store design. Stores with this design began appearing in the market in late 2018. The 2,349-square-foot store in Warwick features Dunkin’s new branding on the exterior, a modern-looking building, an open-interior design, a more efficient drive-thru system and upgraded tap systems for beverages such as iced coffee, iced tea and cold brew. The interior ceiling has been updated and the walls have been painted. The renovation lasted from March 15 to April 7.
