CANTON, Mass., Nov. 7, 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
Raleigh and Holly Springs areas of the Raleigh-Durham market with longtime franchisee
Awale Networks, Inc. The first restaurant under this agreement is
planned to open in 2018.
Awale Networks, Inc. has been franchising with Dunkin' Donuts
since 1986, and currently owns 12 locations in Atlanta and Raleigh-Durham. Awale Networks, Inc is led by
Ahmad "Andy" Awale, who originally joined the Dunkin' Donuts system
over 30 years ago. Awale Networks has an experienced operational
team with a track record of proven success.
"We are excited to continue developing the Dunkin' Donuts brand
in the Raleigh 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 next year," said Andy
Awale, Dunkin' Donuts franchisee. "As we expand 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."
With more than 90 Dunkin' Donuts locations in the Greater Raleigh-Durham area, and over 300 in
North Carolina, the brand is
continuing to recruit franchisees in the Greensboro and High
Point areas. 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. Additionally, multi-brand restaurants that
combine Dunkin' Donuts with Baskin-Robbins under one roof offer
even more opportunity to drive traffic during various day parts —
from early morning breakfast and coffee all the way to after-dinner
ice cream treats.
Dunkin' Donuts menu offerings include high-quality,
freshly-brewed Hot and Iced Coffees, Cold Brew and Rainforest
Alliance Certified™ Dark Roast, along with a Rainforest Alliance
Certified™ espresso lineup that includes Americano, Cappuccino,
Espresso, and Hot and Iced Lattes and Macchiato. Dunkin' Donuts
also serves a full menu of Premium Hot Teas, frozen beverages,
delicious donuts, bakery goods and sandwiches that pair perfectly
with the brand's beverages. Baskin-Robbins offers guests a
delicious range of creative ice cream flavors, custom ice cream
cakes, ice cream sundaes, frozen beverages and take-home frozen
treats.
