California : Dunkin’ Donuts expanding

A representative from Dunkin’s Donuts announced Tuesday that the company is preparing to launch branches in California before the year ends, Reuters reported.

This will mark the first time the baked goods and coffee shops will appear in the state after a 12-year-long absence. Dunkin’s Donuts, which was previously managed by a different corporation, left California in 2002 after it suffered major sales loss.

The new locations are part of the company’s previously announced plans to expand into the state by 2015. Dunkin’ Donuts said it has already signed nearly 200 agreements to open stores in California. It expects to have more than 1,000 restaurants in the state in the future. The new locations will be operated by franchisees.

Dunkin’ Donuts, which is owned by Canton, Massachusetts-based Dunkin’ Brands Group Inc., has about 11,000 restaurants around the world. In the U.S., most of its stores are in the East Coast and Midwest. Dunkin’ Brands also owns the ice cream chain Baskin Robbins.

The company already has a small presence in California. It opened three small sites in the state, including one in a hotel, a military base and one at a travel rest stop.
