Dunkin' and Jimmy John's expanding in Hagerstown area

The recently opened Dunkin' and Jimmy John's on Dual Highway, just east of downtown Hagerstown, will have a grand opening on Saturday, Nov. 14, according to a company announcement. The 330 Dual Highway restaurant opened in mid-October at the former site of a KFC that closed almost three years ago. A former M&T Bank at 17724 Garland Groh Blvd., in Hagerstown's West End, also is being renovated into a Dunkin' and Jimmy John's. That store is expected to open in the new year, said Desire Lovelace, manager of the Dual Highway store. That bank branch closed almost three years ago. A former bank drive-thru along Valley Mall Road also is slated to become at least a Jimmy John's, according to Lovelace and a sign at the site. That one also is expected to open in 2027.
