"We're thrilled to have agreements signed for the development of
more than 250 Dunkin' Donuts restaurants in California, and our continued growth
throughout the state would not be possible without our passionate
franchisees and loyal guests," said Grant
Benson, CFE, vice president of global franchising and
business development, Dunkin' Brands. "With this announcement, we
are excited to welcome these new and existing franchisees to the
Golden State and know each will cultivate lasting customer
relationships and become an integral part of the California communities they serve."
In September, Dunkin' Donuts celebrated the opening of its first
full expression California
restaurants in the cities of Santa
Monica, Modesto and
Downey. Additional California
Dunkin' Donuts locations are planned to open in Long Beach and Whittier before the end of 2014. The opening
of these restaurants is part of a larger plan to open approximately
250 new restaurants in California
over the next several years. The company plans to open more than
1,000 restaurants in total throughout the state over the long-term.
Franchise opportunities still remain available in portions of
California.
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.
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.
