Dunkin' Donuts, the Canton-based coffee-and-baked goods chain, said that it is celebrating the grand opening of its first "green" store today.

The store in St. Petersburg, Fla., is Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, or LEED, certified, which means that it includes environmentally friendly features, the chain noted.

Dunkin' Donuts president and chief brand officer Will Kussell said in a statement, "At Dunkin' Donuts, we are committed to growing our business in a way that is both achievable and sustainable for our company, our franchisees, the communities we proudly serve, and the environment."
