CANTON, Mass., April 23, 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 new franchise groups to develop 20 new
restaurants in South Orange County and the San Fernando Valley area
over the next several years.
The two franchise groups and their development plans
include:
- New franchise group Precision Hospitality & Development,
which plans to develop 10 restaurants in South Orange County and
the surrounding cities. Led by real estate developer, Joe Haupt, the group's first restaurant is
planned to open in 2015.
- New franchisee Aharon Aminpour,
who plans to develop 10 restaurants throughout the San Fernando
Valley. Aminpour's first restaurant is planned to open in
2015.
Since opening California for
franchise development last year, the company has executed store
development agreements for more than 150 new free-standing Dunkin'
Donuts restaurants. Franchise opportunities still remain
available throughout Southern
California in Palm Springs,
Desert Communities, Santa Clarita
Valley, Ventura County,
Glendale and Burbank, as well as in Central and
Northern California. Over time,
there are plans for as many as 1,000 Dunkin' Donuts restaurants
throughout the state. More information about franchising
opportunities in California can be
found at www.dunkinfranchising.com.
"As we continue to grow our presence in California, a key component is our 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 to welcome
these new franchise groups to the Dunkin' Donuts brand. Between
their franchise and California
business experience, we are confident they will cultivate lasting
customer relationships, and become wonderful additions to the
Southern California communities
they will serve."
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.
