Built in 1966, the 20,000-square-foot commercial building next to Sully’s Market is undergoing a complete exterior makeover. The Dunkin’ shop on the left side is being renovated on the inside. Several work trucks are on site and numerous workers are remodeling the entire exterior of the building. Begun in early November, the old siding has been removed, repairs made to the wallboards, and water-resistant fabric has been installed. The project is expected to take about three weeks.
This building and Sully’s Market are owned by Allen Plaza LLC, based in North Reading, Massachusetts. NGP Management is the parent company, also based in North Reading, Mass. Jim Clifford of NGP said, “NGP Management is a Dunkin’ franchisee that operates a family-owned network of Dunkin’ shops across New England. We promote a people-centered culture that cares about its people and customers.”
He continued, “The project was originally to start in October, but was delayed. The reason for the project was a Dunkin’ corporate policy that requires their shops to be renovated every ten years. So it was time to renovate the Allenstown shop. Since it was part of our family of franchisees and the building needed some upgrades, we decided to renovate the building exterior while renovating the Dunkin’ shop interior.”
