Owner Ray Aley and Store Manager Deannie King

By John T. Ryan

Peru – Dunkin Donuts owner Ray Aley is excited about this restaurant’s new Bear Swamp Road location. At today’s Grand Opening he stated, “Business has been fantastic so far.” The fact that Aley direct mailed 11,000 coupons to everyone in the Peru, Keeseville and nearby Adirondack zip codes undoubtedly attracted many customers. That’s his customer base, along with thousands of I87 travelers.

At about 2,800 sq. feet the Peru Dunkin Donuts is the largest of Aley’s seventeen Northern New York restaurants. Anyone entering the building can’t help but notice the immense amount of natural light, large dining area, comfortable lounge with a large screen TV and the colorful serving area. Free of charge high-speed internet will be installed next week.

Down the hallway there’s a community meeting room which Aley said will be available free of charge to community groups. It will accommodate about 12 people. Outside, during warm weather customers should enjoy the comfortable patio. Aley’s wife Cheryl, a Master Gardener, has been responsible for the extensive landscaping.

The building was designated “DD Green” meaning it was built to sustainable, energy efficient standards incorporating the latest heating/air conditioning technology, in-floor heating,LED lighting and other energy saving technologies.
