Demolition under way at former Shoney’s

The former Shoney’s on State Route 3 in Fredericksburg is being torn down to make way for a new multi-tenant retail building.

The building being torn down is at 2203 Plank Road near Interstate 95. Plans call for a new, roughly 5,200-square-foot building.

Dunkin’ Donuts will occupy about 3,000 square feet of the new space, and there will also be about 2,200 square feet remaining that will be built as a shell for a future tenant.
