Dunkin’ Donuts, which in July confirmed that it was coming to Arkansas, is now officially committed to a lease at 6805 Cantrell Road in Little Rock, the ex-home of Saigon Cuisine.

And when can you plan to stop there for a sugary cruller? Mid- to late August, we’re told.

Another location possibility, this one at Kanis and Shackleford roads, has also come to our attention. A Dunkin’ Donuts representative declined to confirm it, but it’s worth noting that the Little Rock Board of Directors approved rezoning of a property at that intersection Dec. 20.

And the developer, Watters Corp. of Little Rock, provided a traffic study from a Memphis Dunkin’ Donuts when requesting permission to provide less parking on the property than the city normally requires for a restaurant.
