Goody bags included branded items including a pen, T-shirt and car freshener.

George said: “It has been really nice as there is a good selection to choose from here.

“We will probably bring more of our family soon.”

Michael Johnson, Dunkin’ UK head of operations, came to support the opening.

He said the franchise has a loyal following and its support was reflected by the long queue of residents before 10am.

Mr Johnson said: “Although there is a lot of competition, our unique selling point is quality beverages and customer loyalty.

“Our price comparison is based on value too.

“The reason we have launched in Mansfield is based on market research.

“It was clear a drive-thru experience would prove effective here and work well with our delivery service.

“People often come along to try us and then due to our value, quality and service – become regular customers and make Dunkin’ part of their routine.

“It has been great to see that support here.”
