The Dunkin’ Donuts coffee and baked food chain is predominantly present in the United States with more than 8,000 restaurants, but also has over 3,200 cafes around the world in countries such as Canada, Russia, the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Guatemala, Egypt, Lebanon, Brazil, Sweden, Austria, Singapore, Peru, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, China, Indonesia, Chile, Mexico, Bahamas, Philippines, New Zealand, Vietnam, and Thailand.

These stores are largely run by independent franchisors, who attend intensive training courses at Dunkin Donuts University. The training programs are precisely scheduled and run for 6 weeks. Almost half of this program is devoted to the acquisition of donut production techniques and similar products, and the other half of the program focuses on the learning of financial, personnel and management practices that will be followed by future managers.

At the Dunkin’ Donuts stores, you can find more than a dozen coffee beverages, over fifty different types of donuts, a large variety of breakfast sandwiches, bagels, and other baked products. This food chain has a leadership position in the market of donuts served along with hot or iced coffee, as well as flavored or decaffeinated.

Dunkin’ Donuts won its place in the customer’s preferences thanks to the friendly staff and the rapidity with which the products are served. Also, these delicious and fresh products are served in a casual atmosphere.

The Dunkin’ Donuts company has a strong corporate social responsibility policy and it has a strong involvement in local communities through various projects of the Dunkin’ Donuts & Baskin-Robbins Community Foundation.

Its History

In 1946, William Rosenberg founded an industry that delivered meals and “coffee break snacks” to customers in the Boston, Massachusetts area. The business was successful and Rosenberg decided to open his first donut cafe called “The Open Kettle”. In 1950, the first Dunkin’ Donuts store was opened in Quincy, Massachusetts.

Five years after the first donut cafe restaurant opened, in 1955, the first franchise was licensed. During the sixties, the restaurant was also known under the name of “Universal Food System”.

At the end of the fifties, the company started to expand in a rapid way, and in 1963 the leadership was taken over by William Rosenberg’s son, Mr. Robert Rosenberg.

The name “Dunkin’ Donuts” was coined in 1968 when the company went public.

Later, in 1990 the chain was bought by Allied Domecq through the purchase of Dunkin’ Brands. After that, it was sold to Ricard S.A. and later to Bain Capital Partners, the Carlyle Group, and Thomas H. Lee Partners.

Nowadays, the company is a subsidiary of the Dunkin’ Brands Group, Inc. with its headquarters in Canton, Massachusetts.

Dunkin’ Donuts officially changed its name to Dunkin’ at the beginning of 2019.

The Dunkin’ Donuts company continues to serve delicious and fresh donuts and coffee. Thanks to this it received a great level of industry recognition. The brand research consultancy company Brand Keys, says about Dunkin’ Donuts that it is the number one restaurant in hot regular/iced regular/flavored/decaffeinated coffee and number one in the muffin, donut, and bagel category. On the other hand, it occupies the second position in the servings and breakfast sandwich category, but for nine years in a row had the leader position in terms of customer loyalty in the coffee category.

Even these days, Dunkin’ Donuts still uses the original proprietary coffee blend recipe that was created by its founder.

Interesting facts

At Dunkin’ Donuts, Coffee that is not sold within 18 minutes is not considered fresh and is not served anymore. It has to be freshly brewed, ground and served to the customers. Also, in order to make sure that the ice coffee is never watered down and keeps its flavor, the restaurant staff brews the coffee two times before pouring it into units.

The freshness and the flavor of the coffee are ensured by the use of only Arabica coffee beans.

Every second around 60 cups of coffee are sold at Dunkin’ Donuts, which is the equivalent of 2 billion cups sold worldwide yearly.

You will not be able to purchase only one munchkin from the Dunkin Donuts menu and the minimum amount depends on the location. Though, it was reported that you have to buy at least four munchkins.
