The American chain, known for its coffee and variety of doughnut flavours, opened at the Capitol Centre in Preston on Tuesday (April 18).
The grand event included a ribbon cutting, games and a give away of around 200 donuts.
If you missed out on the opening event, the team will be giving customers a free drink when they buy a box of six doughnuts until May 11.
There is also going to be a family fun day at the new store on Saturday, May 20. On the day guests can expect face painting, more freebies and even a ‘design your own donut’ competition.
Pictures have now emerged of the grand opening and of the first customers enjoying food and drink.
James Guy, new store openings manager at Dunkin UK said: “We can’t wait to bring even more positive energy to Preston through our everyday value deals, delicious doughnuts and freshly brewed coffee.”
Doughnuts are made daily and hand-finished with a wide range of toppings and fillings.
Their menu features classic donuts such as the original glazed to premium donuts like the rocky road and cookie creme blast.
A spokesperson for the team said hope the new store will help the local community by providing new job opportunities to support the launch and ongoing operation of the store.
There are 29 Dunkin Donuts stores across the UK and the Preston site is the first to open in Lancashire.
The chain dates back to the ‘50s whenWilliam Rosenberg had an epiphany.
A spokesperson for the company said: “After creating a range of donuts for the people of Quincy in Massachusetts, he realised that everyone loved to dunk them in their coffee.
“The delicious combination of donuts and coffee became an experience to savour, and people kept coming back for more.
“Inspired by this phenomenon, Rosenberg made it his mission to offer the best quality coffee he could find. This took his business to a whole new level and Dunkin’ Donuts was born.
“Our commitment to serving the finest coffee is stronger than ever. Each blend is carefully selected to ensure the richest, smoothest flavour possible.
“Whether a robust espresso, rich foamy cappuccino or indulgent latte, Dunkin’ is dedicated to serving high quality coffee packed with flavour.”
