Dunkin' (formerly Dunkin' Donuts) food and beverages

Dunkin', originally known as Dunkin' Donuts, is a global icon in the quick-service restaurant industry. Founded in 1950 by William Rosenberg in Quincy, Massachusetts, the brand initially gained fame for its wide variety of doughnuts and premium coffee. Over the decades, it evolved into a beverage-led company, officially rebranding as 'Dunkin'' in 2019 to reflect its diverse menu that includes iced coffees, specialty espressos, breakfast sandwiches, and baked goods.

Manufacturing and sourcing for Dunkin' products occur across a vast international network. Its coffee beans are sourced primarily from Latin American countries like Brazil, Colombia, and Guatemala, while its food products are produced through various methods. Depending on the franchise location, doughnuts may be baked on-site, produced in Centralized Manufacturing Locations (CMLs), or shipped as pre-made frozen items to ensure consistency across its thousands of global stores.

In December 2020, Dunkin' Brands was acquired by Inspire Brands, a multi-brand restaurant powerhouse. This acquisition integrated Dunkin' into a massive portfolio that includes other major chains like Arby's and Baskin-Robbins. Today, Dunkin' operates as a subsidiary under Inspire Brands, maintaining its headquarters in Massachusetts while benefiting from the global scale and shared services of its parent company based in Georgia.
