CANTON, Mass., April 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Dunkin' Donuts,
America's all-day, everyday stop for coffee and baked goods,
announced today the signing of a multi-unit store development
agreement with existing franchisees Jason
Duffy and Bert Hayenga to
develop three new restaurants in Colorado
Springs, Colorado. The first restaurant is planned to open
in 2014 and the remainder by 2017.
Jason Duffy and Bert Hayenga currently own and operate 52
restaurants in Arizona,
Nevada, Colorado and California. In November
2013, Duffy and Hayenga opened a restaurant in Barstow at the historic Barstow station, which
was the second non-traditional Dunkin' Donuts location to open in
the state of California.
"As long-time franchisees with the brand, we have firsthand
experience that Dunkin' Donuts attracts and impacts people of all
ages. Our team is excited to bring Dunkin' Donuts to Colorado Springs and play an important role in
the daily lives of people who live, work and visit here," said
Jason Duffy, Dunkin' Donuts
franchisee. "We have a passion and loyalty for the brand and look
forward to opening many more restaurants in the years to come."
Dunkin' Donuts franchise opportunities still remain available in
Grand Junction and Pueblo County. In an effort to keep the brand
fresh and competitive, Dunkin' Donuts offers flexible concepts
for any real estate format including free-standing restaurants, end
caps, in-line sites, gas and convenience, travel plazas,
universities, as well as other retail environments.
"Our secret to continued growth includes passionate franchisees
like Jason Duffy and Bert Hayenga, who provide a high-level of
customer service to our guests every day," said Grant Benson, CFE, vice president of global
franchising and business development, Dunkin' Brands. "We believe
that Jason, Bert and their team, with years of experience with our
brand, will continue to deliver exceptional service and become an
important part of the local communities they serve."
Dunkin' Donuts' new look includes four distinct restaurant
design options for franchisees, each featuring variations in
layout, color schemes, graphics, textures, furniture and/or
lighting. The designs enhance the current restaurant appearance,
environment and layout to serve people all day long. Unlike other
quick-service restaurants, Dunkin' Donuts allows franchisees to
select individual elements from any of the four options, creating a
restaurant design that reflects their personal tastes and
preferences, and best serves their specific restaurant size and
location.
Since the 1950s, Dunkin' Donuts has been a daily ritual for
millions of people and has offered guests delicious food,
beverages, and friendly service at a great value. Dunkin' Donuts
offerings include iced coffee, flavored coffees, lattes, Dunkin'
Donuts K-Cup® Packs, Coolatta® frozen drinks, donuts, muffins,
bagels, breakfast and bakery sandwiches, and a DDSMART® menu
featuring better-for-you items.
