The owner of the Dunkin’ Donuts in Pasadena and on FM 1960 near I-45 is renovating the Bellaire location that a previous owner shut down last October, writes Steve Mark:
“I heard they were closing that store and I called the corporate office right away,†[Harshad] Patel told The Examiner. “We don’t have that many Dunkin’ Donuts close to the city, so I asked if I could re-open that one. . . .”
Patel expects the first donuts will be ready later this month — after the gutted building at 5406 Bellaire Blvd. between Bissonnet and Chimney Rock gets outfitted with a new roof, AC system, and kitchen equipment.

Yippie! I am so happy! That was a part of my childhood. I took pictures on their last day in business! I have fond memories of sitting there with my mother as a child!
Dunkies FTW!
Native Mass-holes rejoice!
WooHoo! As much as I love Shipley’s, every once in a while nothing but a Dunkin Donut will do.
The happy, I has it. :-D
I moved to Australia (a land of mediocre donuts) a year ago but was back in Houston last month and specifically went to the Bellaire Dunkin Donuts for a fix. Was a very sad puppy seeing it closed. Delighted to know I can make the pilgrimage again next year :-)
Any word on the opening of Dunkin Donuts on Bellaire?! We’re jonesing for some D&D!!
When will the DD shop on Bellaire be open?
Why in the world are there only 3 Dunkin Donuts in Houston. Shipley’s donuts suck!
