The new Dunkin’ Donuts will debut later this year with a drive-thru at 431 S. Locust St., which is part of the Bishop Square development.
The Dunkin’ Donuts in Oxford will likely be the first of its kind in the Cincinnati region — featuring a Next Generation concept store, according to OnSite Retail Group, which handles marketing and leasing of the Bishop Square retail and restaurant space.
