Dunkin' Donuts Franchise

Doughnut shop

In 1946, William Rosenberg founded Industrial Luncheon Services, a company that delivered meals and snacks to workers in the Boston area. The success of Industrial Lucheon Services convinced Rosenberg to start the Open Kettle, a doughnut shop in Quincy, Massachusetts. Two years later Open Kettle changed its name to Dunkin' Donuts.

Today, Dunkin' Donuts serves a variety of doughnuts, muffins, bagels, coffees and fruit drinks at its locations in more than 40 countries.

Dunkin' Donuts is a subsidiary of Allied Domecq, parent company of Baskin-Robbins and Togo's. Franchisees may operate combination stores, co-branding Dunkin' Donuts with Baskin-Robbins or Togo's.
