Levin Management Adds Dunkin' Donuts to Clifton Plaza Tenant Roster

July 28, 2014 - PRLog -- Dunkin' Donuts, America's all-day, every day stop for coffee and baked goods, is set to join the retail mix at Clifton Plaza (http://levinmgt.com/component/iproperty/?view=property&id=8:clifton-plaza-clifton) in Clifton. The global doughnut purveyor and coffeehouse chain has leased 3,160 square feet at the 80,000-square-foot shopping center, according to Levin Management (http://www.levinmgt.com/), the property's managing and leasing agent.

Levin's leasing representative Gloria Mercado negotiated the transaction.

"Dunkin' Donuts is one of the world's leading brands, and a favorite among New Jersey residents," said Mercado. "Three separate Dunkin' Donuts operators were vying for this particular space, which is a real testament to Clifton Plaza's standing as a highly sought-after retail destination. Dunkin' Donuts will be a phenomenal addition to our existing tenancy, and a wonderful amenity for both Clifton Plaza's visitors as well as those who live and work in the community."

Headquartered in Canton, Mass., Dunkin' Donuts' offerings include hot and iced coffee, hot and iced tea, lattes, Dunkin' Donuts K-Cup Packs, Coolatta frozen drinks, doughnuts, muffins, bagels, breakfast and bakery sandwiches, and a DDSMART menu featuring better-for-you menu items. Dunkin' Donuts sells more than 1.8 billion cups of hot and iced coffee globally each year. The company operates nearly 11,000 restaurants in 33 countries worldwide.

Co-anchored by a 24,000-square-foot Big Lots and 14,000-square-foot Dollar Tree, Clifton Plaza's exceptional lineup of national and regional tenants includes GameStop, Radio Shack, Angel Tip Nails & Spa, Bruno's Pizza, Sally Beauty Supply and Valley National Bank. In addition, Blink Fitness has leased 15,000 square feet of newly constructed space, and will be opening later this year. Conveniently situated on Route 46/Van Houten Avenue in a highly visible location, the center serves a growing residential population of more than 619,000 people within a five-mile radius. The marketplace offers an average household income of more than $79,800 and the daily traffic count exceeds 70,000 vehicles.
