CANTON, Mass., Feb. 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Dunkin' Donuts,
America's all-day, everyday stop for coffee and baked goods,
announced today the signing of a store development agreement with
new franchise group, Main Street Food Services, LLC, to develop the
company's first restaurant in Pinconning,
Michigan. The restaurant is planned to open this upcoming
summer.
Main Street Food Services, LLC is a subsidiary of Corrigan Oil
Co., an operator of 26 gas and convenience store locations with
more than 55 years of experience in the gas and convenience
industries. Brothers Tim and Mike
Corrigan will lead the day-to-day operations of the new
restaurant.
"We are thrilled to be joining the Dunkin' Donuts team and
helping to bring its first restaurant to Pinconning as we grow the brand's presence in
our home state of Michigan," said
Tim Corrigan, Dunkin' Donuts
franchisee. "Dunkin' Donuts was an obvious choice for us after
learning about the brand's flexible concept options and world-class
marketing team. We look forward to keeping the people who live,
work and visit the local community running on Dunkin'."
Currently, there are 78 Dunkin' Donuts restaurants located
throughout Michigan, 18 of which
are gas and convenience locations. The brand is continuing to
recruit franchisees in the Detroit, Grand
Rapids and Lansing areas to
develop freestanding locations as well as gas and convenience
locations. It will consider qualified groups as both franchisees to
directly develop and operate Dunkin' Donuts locations, as well as
landlords for traditional franchisees to operate within their gas
and convenience operations. To help fuel growth in Michigan, special development incentives are
available, which include reduced royalty fees for three years and
up to $5,000 in local store marketing
support for timely openings.*

to our growth for the past 65 plus years, which has solidified our
position as a leading brand in the quick service restaurant
industry."
