A new Dunkin' Donuts is on the way to North Pine Avenue.

A listing at Mid State Builders Exchange http://www.msbe.com indicates the Dunkin' is included in nearly 5,500 feet of new retail construction set for 2300 N. Pine Ave.

Manoj Reddy, of Orange County, is the franchisee. He said he hopes to open the store in 90 to 120 days.

"It's a good location," Reddy said. "I own the four Dunkin' Donuts stores in Marion County. They're good locations. It's a good area.

"Things are growing. Things are picking up. It's a good place to have one more store."

Mid State Builders Exchange's website indicates the 5,438-square-foot project is in the pre-bid phase and involves the building of the Dunkin' and other retail space, along with the moving of "an existing modular building to the north portion of the site."

Reddy said the property was once home to a real estate agency.

"It's going to be brand new, from the ground up," he said of the complex.

The website lists Kalasa LLC as the owner of the property and Reddy as a contact. Reddy, however, said he is "not the landlord."
