BAY SHORE, NY — A newly remodeled Dunkin' and Baskin-Robbins in Bay Shore celebrated its grand reopening with free coffee, donuts, discounted ice cream and a $3,000 donation to a nonprofit supporting people with disabilities.

The restaurant, located at 529 E. Main St., welcomed community members and local officials Oct. 28 for a ribbon-cutting ceremony marking the completion of its renovation.

Dunkin' franchisee Metro Franchising presented a $3,000 donation to The Viscardi Center in partnership with the Dunkin' Joy in Childhood Foundation.

The Viscardi Center is a nonprofit organization that provides educational, employment and independent living opportunities for children, adults and veterans with disabilities and similar needs.

"The Henry Viscardi School is proud to be the recipient of such generous support from Metro Franchising and Dunkin'," said Lauren Marzo, chief development officer of The Viscardi Center. "Our relationship spans well over a decade, and Dunkin's support has helped provide critical programs for our students with severe disabilities. These programs help our students learn, grow and take important steps toward an independent future."

Islip Town Supervisor Angie Carpenter, members of the Bay Shore Fire Department and representatives of U.S. Rep. Andrew Garbarino, Suffolk County Legislator Steven J. Flotteron and Islip Town Councilman Michael McElwee Jr. attended the celebration and participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

As part of the festivities, customers received free medium hot or iced coffees and donuts, while others purchased Baskin-Robbins ice cream scoops for 31 cents, a nod to the brand's 31 flavors.

Attendees also had an opportunity to spin a prize wheel for free Dunkin' merchandise.

The 2,100-square-foot restaurant employs 20 crew members and operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The location features Dunkin's next-generation store design, which includes a modernized interior, updated beverage equipment and energy-efficient features.
