The brand offers flexible concepts for any real estate format, and is currently targeting qualified gas and convenience operators in the market. It will consider qualified groups as both franchisees to directly develop and operate Dunkin’ Donuts locations, as well as landlords for traditional franchisees to operate within their gas and convenience operations. Presently, there are 74 Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants operating in Michigan, 17 of which are gas and convenience locations.

Gas and convenience operators interested in developing Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants in this region can attend an Informational Franchising Seminar on Tuesday, June 7 from 2-4 p.m. (EST) at Hampton Inn and Suites Lansing West.  Candidates can RSVP at http://franchisingevents.dunkinbrands.com or contact Shawn Caric, Sr. Franchising Manager, at Dunkinfranchising@dunkinbrands.com or (781) 737-5530 to learn more about development opportunities in the Michigan area. Growth in the gas and convenience sector continues to be a target for the brand, with nearly 1,650 locations nationally.

“Dunkin' Donuts is looking for qualified gas and convenience operators with operations, foodservice and real estate experience to join our team to continue growing the brand in several cities throughout Michigan,” said Grant Benson, CFE, vice president of global franchising and business development, Dunkin’ Brands. “We believe we can achieve our long-term goal of more than 17,000 restaurants in the U.S., more than doubling our current number of domestic locations, and local entrepreneurs will benefit from our seminar where they can learn how to be part of Dunkin’ Donuts’ growth.”
