Dunkin’ franchisee selects Okaloosa for commercial bakery

CRESTVIEW, Fla. – Purple Square Management, a Tampa-based management company that operates over 205 franchise locations in nine states – including 95 Dunkin’ / Baskin Robbins stores throughout Florida and Alabama – has selected north Okaloosa County for a new, state-of-the-art commercial bakery and distribution facility.

Sixty new jobs are expected to be created as the company scales up to full production.

“With 30 stores and two currently under construction in the Florida panhandle, we know the area quite well,” said Vik Patel, President & CEO, Purple Square Management.

“The decision to build our manufacturing facility in Okaloosa County represents a new chapter for us, and we look forward to employing local people who share our commitment to delivering high-quality products in the safest and most cost-efficient manner possible,”

The 24,500 SF facility will be developed on a four-acre parcel located within the Okaloosa Industrial Air Park in north Okaloosa County. The land was previously certified as “shovel ready” through Gulf Power’s Florida First Sites program.

The total cost of constructing and equipping the new facility is projected to be approximately $4.5 million.

The company’s real estate holding company closed on the purchase of the property with the Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners on October 28, 2021.

In recognition of the economic benefits associated with the project, the Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners previously approved an Economic Development Ad Valorem Tax Exemption award for the company and discounted the purchase price for the Adora Teal Way parcel.

“We applaud the decision by Purple Square Management and Dunkin’ brands to construct their new commercial bakery and distribution operation in the Okaloosa County Industrial Air Park and welcome the new jobs they will provide,” said Paul Mixon, Okaloosa County Commissioner, District 1.

“This is a great win for our area and proof positive that Okaloosa County’s ongoing commitment to economic diversification is paying off,” said Leslie Sheekley, FY 2022 Chairman, One Okaloosa EDC.

Purple Square Management has initiated the 12-week facility design process and anticipates that facility construction will begin in Spring 2022.
