When Did The Old Dunkin' Donuts at 435 Fishkill Avenue Close?
/
Dear People of Beacon:
Do you recall the year the Old Dunkin’ Donuts closed at 435 Fishkill Avenue? Several Dunkin’ Donuts closed in the Hudson Valley during the shutdown of 2020 COVID, but an ALBB reader who goes by “B.” reminded us that this Dunkin’ Donuts at 435 Fishkill Avenue was already closed.
Do you recall the year? Please tell us in the comments below.
Roma Nova has since moved in, after a dramatic closing of the original owner’s 25 years at 6 Eliza Street. When the Antalek & Moore building sold to new owners for a reported and confirmed $2.3 million, rents were going up and all of the tenants moved out. Roma Nova’s departure was particularly dramatic, as evidenced in the Comments section of the Highlands Current article, which were later closed, and paired IG post.
The current Roma Nova on Rte 52, or 435 Fishkill Avenue is new owners, as the original owners Ana and Miguel Tapia sold it to the current owners.
Now a second business concept wants to resurrect on Fishkill Avenue that is desired by some, but is meeting vocal resistance by others. If you know when the first (if it was the first) Dunkin’ Donuts closed on Fishkill Avenue, please let us know.
A photo of the proposed new Dunkin’ Donuts at 420 Fishkill Avenue, which is where the Healey car dealership building is, is below. This location is across the street from where the first Dunkin’ Donuts was. This new development project has been approved by Beacon’s Planning Board on March 11, 2025, but faces a banning from Beacon’s City Council.
The photo has been taken from the Fishkill Avenue Concepts Committee March 9, 2025 online presentation packet.
