Revere 781-629-3798 PARKING AMAZING WATER VIEWS S electmen expressed concerns that future tenants at Essex Landing might by disturbed by the early morning noise of truck traffic making pickups at the new Kane’s Donuts that will be opening on Route 1. But Paul Delios, president and co-owner of Kane’s, assured them at a public hearing on Wednesday night that people living in the apartments or staying in the hotel won’t be woken when trucks from Boston show up at 3:30 a.m. “You won’t hear a sound,” Delios said confidently. “They’re really soundproof,” he said of the new units that will be within close proximity of The Cafe at 1565-1575 Broadway. Selectmen were even more elated after Delios told them Call for Classified Advertising Rates 781-233-4446 that trucks that normally transport donuts from Kane’s Donuts on Lincoln Avenue to the company’s Boston shop will be diverted to the new donut shop to make their pickups. Local comedian Johnny Pizzi and several other residents who live in the neighborhood next to the Lincoln Avenue shop have complained that their peace and quality of life have been disturbed since the Boston shop opened a couple of years ago. “The people from Boston will be told to come and pick up the donuts from Route 1,” Delios said, when asked for a clarification by Selectman Scott Brazis on where the Kane’s Donuts in Boston would be picking up the doughnuts. At that point, Brazis complimented Kane’s Donuts, saying “It’s been nothing but a credit to the town.” “I feel like they have been a pillar in our community,” Board of Selectmen Vice Chair Jeffrey Cicolini said. Initially, Board of Selectmen Chair Debra Panetta wondered whether it is necessary to open up so early. “Do you have a lot of business at 3:30 a.m.?” Panetta asked. “There’s a whole segment of society that works all night long,” Delios said. The board voted 5-0 in support of Delios’s request for a 3:30 a.m. opening. Selectmen also approved Kane’s application for a Common Victualer’s License. Nobody spoke in opposition to Kane’s application or the hours of operation: 3:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., seven days a week. The single-story, 3,630-foot building will include a drivethrough so that southbound travelers and local residents can pick up their coffee and donuts on the way to work. Interior seating will accommodate 18 people. Delios said the capacity of the seating area outside has not yet been determined. Kane’s Donuts Rt. 1, LLC will employ 20 to 30 people, many of them expected to be Saugus residents, according to Delios. “It’s nice to be able to hire local when we can,” he said. Panetta said she and Selectman Mark Mitchell have already visited Kane’s newest location. “And it was beautiful,” she said.
