August 9th 2025 was the official Grand Opening of Mrs Dunster’s new location. The new location was developed in partnership with Fen’s Market, which acquired the Petro Canada outlet on Shediac Road.
Blair Hyslop, ELP10F Alumni spoke about the reason for moving Mrs Dunster’s location and the partnership with Fens Market, owned by Dwight Fraser who also operates FMI.
The new location at 1215 Shediac Rd in Moncton offers a cafe with a drive-thru, coffee and Mrs. Dunster’s doughnuts.

“The building we’re currently in no longer really serves our purpose. We used to have production there, and we used to do our baking for our small batch pastry and for our small batch regular rolls. We put that into a new bakery on St. George Boulevard around four years ago now. So we now have three times more space than we need. It(the current location) also needed a significant investment to bring it up to our standards. So, at the end of the day, we’re going to be in a brand new, renovated space with lots of parking and the new location isn’t too far away,” Hyslop added.
Hyslop says it’s a growing, emerging retail operator in New Brunswick, “Lots of folks would know Dwight Fraser’s name from his other business, which is FMI, a large operator of restaurants across North America and very successful family from Woodstock. We can focus on what we are good at, which is baking and they can focus on what they’re good at, which is being a retail store.”
He says all of the same McBuns products will be there, made by the same bakers,”We have one baker who just got his 40-year service award earlier this year, so he has been there since the very beginning.”

McBuns will be closing its pizzeria, but Hyslop says Fen’s Market will carry on the pizza tradition, offering its menu at the new location and will include our famous McBuns Steak Sub.
