Dunkin’ Opens at Hohenfels, Bringing a Long-Awaited Coffee Shop to the Community

The military community lined up last month, eagerly awaiting the grand opening of the Dunkin’ at the Joint Multinational Readiness Center.

The Hohenfels community has been eagerly awaiting a coffee and bakery option for some time. The restaurant is the Hohenfels community’s first coffee and tea shop on post, and a popular breakfast option alongside Bun-D, Subway, Hunt Brothers Pizza and Burger King.

“I am truly thrilled to have Dunkin’ here in Hohenfels,” said Staff Sgt. Jonathan Lujan of the 1-4 Infantry Regiment. “We have been wanting a coffee spot for so long and now you guys are bringing my favorite, Dunkin’! Thank you so much!”

The Exchange had been working with Dunkin’ contractors in allocating a good space for the store after seeing its success as a Dunkin’ food truck on the base before the pandemic on a roving schedule.

Specially decorated Dunkin’ doughnuts greet the Joint Multinational Readiness Center at Hohenfels.

More than 50 diners attended the 8 a.m. ribbon-cutting, which was led by U.S. Army Garrison Bavaria Command team Col. Kevin Poole and Command Sgt. Maj. Alexander Yazzie, Dunkin’ Region Manager Kathrin Cerone, Exchange General Manager Brian Smith and Services Business Manager Patricia Jamison.

The Joint Multinational Readiness Center is a training post located in Bavaria, Germany. The center hosts multinational troops, training more than 60,000 service members each year.

Dunkin’s opening day saw more than $3,590 in sales and served 265 customers, selling 772 doughnuts. The Dunkin’ bakery, located in Nuremburg, was prompted to ship a second batch to the Dunkin’ store after doughnuts sold out by lunchtime.

Dunkin’ serves coffee, breakfast and lunch items every day until 6 p.m. Along with Hunt Brothers Pizza, it will be one of two Exchange food concepts open on Sundays.
