CANTON, Mass., Sept. 26, 2017 /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 to establish four Dunkin' Donuts restaurants
in the Rochester, Minnesota market
with existing franchisee Donut Kings, LLC. The group's first
restaurant under this agreement is planned to open in 2019.
Owners of Donut Kings, LLC, Oliver
Schugel and David Schooff,
signed an agreement last year to open three Dunkin' Donuts
locations in the Mankato,
Minnesota area. The first of these locations opened in March
of this year. Oliver brings 25 years of business development,
financial analysis, and multi-functional management and operations
experience to the table, while David has 20 years of real estate
development, strategic planning, and market knowledge in the area.
James Trauger, who has several years
of multi-unit retail experience, will serve as the operating
partner during the expansion.
"We are excited to continue developing the Dunkin' Donuts brand
in the Rochester area. The team
we've formed has a proven track record in multi-unit restaurant
development and we're looking forward to our next phase of openings
beginning in 2019," said Oliver
Schugel, owner of Donut Kings, LLC. "As we expand throughout
Rochester over the next several
years, we hope to attract new customers, as well as longtime fans
of the brand, and show them the premium products and quality
service we have to offer."
There are currently five Dunkin' Donuts restaurants located in
Minnesota, all of which serve the
brand's delicious menu of beverages and food. The company is
continuing to recruit qualified franchisees in the Duluth, Minnesota region. To help fuel
additional growth in the market, special development incentives are
available.
"Dunkin' Donuts' growth would not be possible without the
continued support of our existing franchisees, who continue to
demonstrate their high confidence in our brand and world-class
support team," said Grant Benson,
CFE, Senior Vice President of franchising and development, Dunkin'
Brands. "Our hard-working and dedicated franchisees bring the
Dunkin' Donuts brand, products and promotions to life each and
every day, and have been essential to our growth over the
years."
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 and universities,
as well as other retail environments.
