Dunkin' Donuts expands footprint in South Florida

Dunkin' Donuts, a coffee and baked goods chain in the US, has signed a multi-unit store development agreement with the existing franchisee, David McNulty, for 10 new restaurants in Monroe and Miami-Dade Counties as part of its growth strategy.

As per the agreement, Dunkin' Donuts will open three restaurants in 2011 and the remaining by 2014. The agreement includes expansion in the existing markets as well as entering new cities across the country.

Dunkin' Donuts said that McNulty has been its franchisee since 1998 and has built a network of 18 restaurants in Fort Myers, Florida. He will oversee the construction and development process of these new units in South Florida.

In addition to the development agreement mentioned above, Dunkin' Donuts is seeking new and existing franchisees to develop restaurants in Milwaukee, Charlotte, Atlanta, Tampa, Washington, DC, and Detroit.

Also, Dunkin' Brands, the parent company of both Dunkin' Donuts and Baskin-Robbins, is seeking qualified candidates to expand Baskin-Robbins' presence in various US markets.

Dunkin' Brands CFE, vice president of franchising and market planning Grant Benson said that the company is excited to expand its footprint in South Florida with David McNulty.

Our secret to success is our passionate franchisees who provide a high-level of customer service to our guests every day, and we're confident David and his team will continue to cultivate lasting relationships and remain an integral part of the community,” Benson said.
