Dunkin' Franchise Model Overview

Dunkin' restaurants serve coffee and breakfast in several formats, from free-standing drive-thrus to in-line and non-traditional sites, with a growing share of sales through the mobile app and drive-thru. The U.S. system is entirely franchised and dominated by multi-unit operators; the franchisor typically awards new development to existing franchisees, which makes the resale market the realistic entry point for a new owner. More than a thousand locations are combination Dunkin'/Baskin-Robbins stores under separate terms.

Ideal owner profile

Multi-unit operator or buyer acquiring an existing store from a retiring franchisee
Comfortable with early hours and a high-speed morning daypart
