Coastal Franchising, Inc., which is led by George Ross, currently owns 39 locations throughout the Carolinas, including four Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants and one Dunkin’ Donuts and Baskin Robbins multi-brand restaurant within Raleigh-Durham.

The team we’ve formed has a proven track record in multi-unit restaurant development and we’re looking forward to our next phase of openings beginning next year,” said George Ross, Chief Executive Officer of Coastal Franchising, Inc. “As we expand throughout Raleigh-Durham over the next several years, we hope to attract new customers, as well as longtime fans of the brand, and show them the premium products and quality service we have to offer.”

There are currently more than 90 Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants located in the Greater Raleigh-Durham area, and over 200 in North Carolina, all serving the brand’s delicious menu of beverages and food. Dunkin' Donuts offerings include hot coffee, iced coffee, Cold Brew, flavored coffees, lattes, macchiato, espresso, cappuccino, Dunkin’ Donuts K-Cup® pods, frozen beverages, donuts, muffins, bagels, sandwiches, and a DDSMART® menu featuring better-for-you items.

“Dunkin’ Donuts’ growth would not be possible without the continued support of our existing franchisees, who continue to demonstrate their high confidence in our brand and world-class support team,” said Grant Benson, CFE, Senior Vice President of franchising and development, Dunkin’ Brands. “Our hard-working and dedicated franchisees bring the Dunkin’ Donuts brand, products and promotions to life each and every day, and have been essential to our growth over the years.”
