The Essex Landing Kane’s, expected to open in December 2017, will be the wildly popular doughnut shop’s third location, its second in Saugus, and its first with a drive-thru.
“It’s a very desirable location,” co-owner Peter Delios said. “Being on Route 1, one of the biggest highways in the state, there’s a lot of traffic that comes through. Plus, it’s in our own backyard in Saugus.”
