Dunkin’ Donuts on a tear with 63 new sites planned for San Francisco area

CANTON, Mass. - Dunkin’ Donuts continues its aggressive expansion with the signing of multi-unit store development agreements with five franchise groups for a total commitment of 63 new restaurants in the greater San Francisco Bay Area, Palm Springs and Bakersfield over the next several years.

"We're thrilled to have agreements signed for the development of more than 250 Dunkin' Donuts restaurants in California, and our continued growth throughout the state would not be possible without our passionate franchisees and loyal guests," said Grant Benson, CFE, vice president of global franchising and business development, Dunkin' Brands.

In September, Dunkin' Donuts celebrated the opening of its first full expression California restaurants in the cities of Santa Monica, Modesto and Downey. Additional California Dunkin' Donuts locations are planned to open in Long Beach and Whittier before the end of 2014. The opening of these restaurants is part of a larger plan to open approximately 250 new restaurants in California over the next several years.

The company plans to open more than 1,000 restaurants in total throughout the state over the long-term. Franchise opportunities still remain available in portions of California.
