Dandee Donut Factory approved on Revere Beach Parkway

Will be located alongside Barn Car Wash

  Revere residents looking for a fresh donut fix and a car wash will soon have a new option on their menu. The Dandee Donut Factory should be opening its new location at 1141 Revere Beach Pkwy. within the month. Last week, the License Commission approved a common victualler license for a 50-seat restaurant that will be open seven days a week from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.

  “We are a diner with fresh-made donuts open seven days a week,” said Dandee Donut Factory VP of operations Dave Pilarski. “The location is in the finishing stages of its buildout currently. It’s a full-service diner with a drive through and take away.”

  The restaurant will open on property owned by the Coppola family, who will be constructing a car wash on the property that will be opening alongside the Dandee Donuts. Owner Joe Coppola is the owner of Barn Car Wash on Squire Road and on Frank Lee Bennett Highway/ Rte. 1 north in Saugus. This will be the third location, the second in Revere.

  “The project has been under construction for some time, and now we are bringing it home and should be open soon,” said Coppola.

  Coppola said he believes Dandee Donuts will be a good tenant for the property and for Revere. Currently, there are three Dandee Donuts locations in Florida. Pilarski said a location in Marblehead recently closed to make way for the Revere location.

  According to the company’s website, there are franchising opportunities for Dandee Donuts primarily throughout the South. About half of the restaurant’s business is through the sale of donuts, while the other half is mainly breakfast sandwiches, burgers, eggs and other diner menu items, according to Pilarski.

  “It looks like a great spot, and I look forward to having another breakfast place around,” said License Commissioner Linda Guinasso.

  The commission unanimously approved the license.

  David Ferrara, the manager of the Revere location, said the new restaurant will have several benefits for the city. “We’re looking to put a lot of people to work, so it’s going to be great for the community,” he said.

  License Commissioner Daniel Occena said the franchise chose a good location for its business. “I’m excited to try your donuts, and I think it will be great for Revere – this twist to a breakfast business,” he said.

  The Dandee Donut Factory boasts over 50 varieties of handmade donuts, including chocolate dip French crullers, maple bacon and peanut butter & jelly.
