Dunkin’ Donuts expands into Southern California, adds more stores nationally
Canton, Mass.-based Dunkin’ Donuts announced its plans to expand into Southern California. The quick-service restaurant chain says it has been strategically expanding in contiguous markets across the country with a long-term goal of having more than 15,000 Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants in the United States alone. In addition, the company will continue to open new restaurants in existing markets, it says.
In Southern California, the company currently is recruiting multi-unit franchisees for Los Angeles, Riverside, San Diego, San Bernardino, Ventura and Orange counties and expects restaurants in these markets to begin to open in 2015. Dunkin’ Donuts also is interested in identifying qualified foodservice operators for non-traditional venues including colleges and universities, casinos, military bases, supermarkets, airports and travel centers.
