Dunkin' Donuts founded in 1946, by William Rosenberg as Industrial Luncheon Services, which delivered meals and snacks to workers in the Boston area. Due to the great success Rosenberg was convinced to start up Open Kettle, a donut shop. Two years later Open Kettle was renamed to Dunkin' Donuts.
Today, the Dunkin' Donut Franchise serves a variety of 52 donuts, muffins, bagels, coffees, Dunkin' Donuts breakfast sandwich and fruit drinks at its locations in more than 40 countries, which includes Canada and the Unites States.

Franchising Tips and Facts
Be sure to ask about marketing programs (if any) that are offered to Dunkin' Donuts Franchisees. If your franchise contract requires you to make contributions for larger scale advertising and marketing programs, try to find out how the franchisees participate in decisions on the programs, campaigns and budget management. You want to make sure your money is going to good use, and it's being managed properly.
Sometimes, franchises fail because the franchise buyers do not adequately research franchise opportunities prior to purchase. If you are interested in a Dunkin' Donuts Franchise Opportunity, then you should do your homework. Try to match your personal attributes and interests to activities associated with the business opportunity you are interested in. If your personality and interests, don't match, you may want to consider a different franchise.
How much can you make if you own a Dunkin' Donuts Franchise? By law a franchise salesperson cannot provide you with an Earnings Claim, unless it is included in the disclosure document. There is no legal requirement that the franchisor must provide you with an Earnings Claim, however some franchisors do provide it. If the franchisor has chosen not to provide it, then it remains important to contact other franchisees listed in the disclosure document. Other Dunkin' Donuts franchisees can answer many of your questions. Many franchisors will also require you to visit their headquarters before signing the agreement, so that you can both get to know each other better. This is known as Discovery Day.
Ultimately the success of owning a Dunkin' Donuts Franchise can be determined by such factors as your franchise territory, site location, and your individual efforts and commitment to following the system. While you will be your own boss, when owning a Dunkin' Donuts franchise you will not be "on your own". The franchisor will have also committed to fulfill their promises to you as stated in the franchise agreement.
