HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- Well, Huntsville. You asked for it and you got it.

Dunkin' Donuts is coming back to the Rocket City and it's bringing a couple of guys along.

Well, Five Guys to be exact.

Ground-breaking is scheduled next month for Dunkin' Donuts on North Memorial Parkway at Country Club Road.

And in a unique pairing, the iconic eatery will be sharing its location with Five Guys Burgers and Fries.

Kumar Patel, who has local Five Guys, Nothing but Noodles and Schlotsky's franchises, will operate the northside's first Five Guys.

Blake Robinson is the Dunkin' Donuts franchise owner with his father Ed.

"All my friends kept asking me 'When's Dunkin' Donuts coming?'" said Robert Webber with Russ Russell commercial real estate. "Well, it took a long time but we got it signed.

"They will be a good neighbor for Five Guys."

This will be Patel's fifth Five Guys and he said he's happy about the combination.

"The synergy is there," he said. "It felt like the right place and the right time."

For Robinson, a New Jersey native, this is his first franchise. His father is a business owner.

"I've alway wanted to start my own business," he said. He said he selected Dunkin' because "it's an iconic brand up north" and Huntsville was among the territories available.

He had never been to Huntsville until they visited here to look the area over and that was all it took.

"The instant upon coming to Huntsville, I knew this is where we wanted to be," Robinson, 23, said. "This isn't Huntsville, Alabama; it's Huntsville USA."

Patel said he hopes to open the location by the end of August.

"It will be a 5,000 square-foot center with a 500 square-foot patio," he said.

Robinson said he's excited after a year-long process.

"Knowing the store will be up and running ... is a great feeling," he said. "It will go really well with Five Guys."

His parents will also be moving here from New Jersey also, he said. His mother experienced first-hand the excitement some Huntsvillians have for Dunkin' Donuts.

"People are aware of the brand," he said. "When we tell the people (it's coming), they get so excited.

"We were in the Apple store talking about Dunkin' and one of the kids hugged my mom."

The "excitement" will be spreading west, too. Robinson said there will be a Dunkin' Donuts in Madison by the end of the year.

"This is going to be a good year for Dunkin'," he said.

And, apparently, for Huntsville.
