CANTON, Mass., Dec. 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Dunkin' Donuts,
America's all-day, everyday stop for coffee and baked goods,
announced today the signing of multi-unit store development
agreements with two franchise groups to develop four new
restaurants in Colorado over the
next several years.
The two franchise groups and their development plans
include:
- New franchisee Brian "Gib" Long is the brand's first franchisee
in the Western Slope of Colorado
with plans to develop two restaurants. His first restaurant is
planned to open in 2015, and the second within the next several
years.
- New franchisees George Hart and
Mark Waldman plan to develop two
restaurants in Pueblo, Colo. This
duo's first restaurant is planned to open near I-25 and HWY 50 in
early 2015 and the second location by 2016.
"Our secret to continued growth includes passionate franchisees
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 are excited that these new franchisees have chosen to
grow the brand in the Pueblo and
Western Slope areas, and believe they will cultivate lasting
customer relationships and become an integral part of the
Colorado communities they
serve."
Currently, there are 13 Dunkin' Donuts restaurants located
throughout Colorado, and the
company is continuing to recruit franchisees in the cities of
Grand Junction, Glenwood Springs, Montrose and Durango. To help fuel growth in Colorado, special development incentives are
available, which include reduced royalty fees for three years and
up to $10,000 in local store
marketing for stores that open on time.*
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 hot and iced coffee, flavored coffees, lattes, hot and iced
tea, Dunkin' Donuts K-Cup® Packs, Coolatta® frozen drinks, donuts,
muffins, bagels, breakfast and bakery sandwiches, and a DDSMART®
menu featuring better-for-you items.
