Dunkin' Donuts plans to open 15 new restaurants in Louisville.
According to CANTON, Mass., Nov. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Dunkin' Donuts, America's favorite every day, all-day stop for coffee and baked goods, announced today the signing of a multi-unit store development agreement with Pace Development LLC for 15 new restaurants in Louisville, KY. The first two locations are anticipated to open in 2015 and the remainder by 2016. Dunkin' Donuts' development in Louisville is part of a steady and strategic growth strategy, which includes expanding in existing markets while entering new cities across the country to help drive the leading coffee and bakery chain's growth.
Management and supervision of the daily operations for each new restaurant that are planning to be developed will be led by the franchise group that presently operates Dunkin' Donuts locations in Upstate New York. The group is led by Manish Patel and his partners Nilam Patel, Tarak Patel, and Shashin Patel.
"We are proud to expand our franchise portfolio to include Dunkin' Donuts and look forward to playing an important role in the daily lives of people who live and work in the Louisville community," said Scott Morris president, Pace Development LLC.
"Dunkin' Donuts is excited to expand its footprint in Louisville with Pace Development," said Grant Benson, CFE, vice president of franchising and market planning, Dunkin' Brands, Inc. "Our secret to success is our passionate franchisees that provide a high-level of customer service to our customers everyday, and we're confident Scott and his team will grow and prosper in Louisville."
Dunkin' Donuts' new look includes four distinct restaurant design options for franchisees, each featuring variations in layout, color schemes, graphics, textures, furniture and/or lighting. The designs enhance the current restaurant appearance, environment and layout to serve people all day long. Unlike other quick-service restaurants, Dunkin' Donuts allows franchisees to select individual elements from any of the four options, creating a restaurant design that reflects their personal tastes and preferences, and best serves their specific restaurant size and location.
Founded in 1950, Dunkin' Donuts continues to serve people with their delicious food and beverages with their friendly service. With their nearly 11,000 locations in 33 countries globally, the company persists in expanding their brand in the industry.
