CLINTON HILL — The world's largest donut chain is headed to Clinton Hill.

A new Dunkin' Donuts is slated to open in a one-story building at 515 Myrtle Ave. in late January, officials said.

The incoming Dunkin' Donuts will reflect a new style for the franchise, including comfortable seating, electrical outlets for computer use and music. The new design was created "to encourage patrons to stay and spend the day," according to Dunkin' Donuts.

But the company's impending arrival is causing some consternation among neighbors.

"What's next, another multibillion dollar franchise that wont pay a living wage?" tweeted Trevor Kunk. "Sad day in Clinton Hill."
