Live Poll

Do you welcome the arrival of new national chain restaurants in your local community?

Dunkin' has officially filed paperwork with the city of Boise to open a new restaurant at 6940 W. State St. The proposed site is set to replace an existing Papa Murphy's pizza shop.

Why it matters

This expansion aligns with the company's regional growth strategy as it targets up to 20 or more new locations throughout the Treasure Valley. The chain is reportedly close to finalizing three additional leases in the area.

The proposed floor plans include seating for 18 customers across four tables. The brand currently operates more than 14,200 restaurants across 40 global markets.

Papa Murphy's

Papa Murphy's is a pizza franchise that currently occupies the building at 6940 W. State St. in Boise.

Market Landscape

This move reflects a broader commercial development trend currently unfolding across the Treasure Valley. It positions the coffee giant to compete for market share against other established beverage retailers in the regional area.

Local residents should expect the closure of the existing pizza restaurant currently operating at the W. State St. site. The arrival of this new location will eventually provide additional dining and beverage options for the local neighborhood.

The takeaway

The proposed restaurant will leverage existing infrastructure like the drive-thru lane to streamline its local launch. Residents can anticipate the continued expansion of major national chains throughout the region.
