The future Dunkin’ Donuts site is located along Route 8 across from McDonald’s. Seb Foltz/Butler Eagle

Construction has begun on a new Dunkin’ restaurant on Route 8 next to the Super 8 and near the Greater Butler Mart.

Anthony Braun, CEO and CFO of the Heartland Restaurant Group of Forest Hills, said this will be the company’s third location in Butler, bringing the total in the county up to five stores.

Braun said the restaurant should be ready to open by mid-April, and it will be a “modern” location with newer technology and will feature a gray and white facade instead of the usual orange, pink and brown branding.
