Dunkin’ to join new construction on West Side, as the chain’s citywide growth continues

Does the West Side run on Dunkin’?
The coffee and doughnut chain thinks so, with plans to expand its Albuquerque footprint with a new location under construction at 10631 Unser NW. The location broke ground during last year’s third quarter and is expected to open in early Q3.
“The West Side has been a priority growth area for Dunkin’ for some time,” said Amin Habib, one of the leaders behind the franchisee group NMR LLC, which owns and operates 14 Dunkin’ stores across New Mexico.
The coffee joint will share the multiunit building with other businesses, though other tenant details are currently unknown, Habib said. Dunkin’ will occupy the end unit with a drive-thru, and the location will generate roughly 35 jobs, he said.
The new commercial building is going up near an area that has seen increased development and food-related business activity over the last couple years. It neighbors a shopping strip that was completed in 2024 and has since welcomed a Stripes Burrito Co., Crackin’ Crab, House of Chimney Cakes, Chicken Salad Chick and a recently opened Duke City BBQ.
“Dunkin’s continued growth in Albuquerque reflects our long-term commitment to the community and confidence in the city’s momentum,” Habib said.
NMR LLC isn’t slowing down, recently opening a new Dunkin’ near the National Hispanic Cultural Center. Two more of the group’s Dunkin’ stores are under construction on Eubank Boulevard and Gibson Boulevard.
