Dunkin' donuts and coffee

Dunkin' (formerly known as Dunkin' Donuts) is a globally recognized American multinational coffee and doughnut company. Founded by William Rosenberg in Quincy, Massachusetts, in 1950, it has grown into one of the largest coffee and baked goods chains in the world. The brand underwent a significant rebranding in 2018, dropping 'Donuts' from its name to emphasize its focus on coffee and other beverages while still remaining a leader in the doughnut market.

In terms of manufacturing and sourcing, Dunkin' utilizes a vast supply chain network. While coffee beans are sourced primarily from Central and South America, their doughnuts and baked goods are typically prepared or finished at central manufacturing locations or within individual franchise kitchens locally to ensure freshness. In Spain, the brand operates as 'Dunkin'' and is managed through local partnerships.

In December 2020, Dunkin' Brands was acquired by Inspire Brands, a multi-brand restaurant company backed by the private equity firm Roark Capital Group. This acquisition brought Dunkin' under the same corporate umbrella as other major chains like Arby's and Baskin-Robbins, centralizing its ownership in Sandy Springs, Georgia, USA.
