Welcome To L.A.: Dunkin’ Donuts Set For 45-Unit Debut

Los Angeles residents will be waking up to Dunkin’ Donuts by the end of the year. The Canton, Mass., chain signed its first Southern California multi-unit development agreements late in July with four franchise groups committing to a total of 45 new restaurants. The first standalone units are expected to open in 2015 in Orange and Los Angeles counties. Some non-traditional Dunkin’ Donuts locations may open over the next several months. The chain, which has more than 10,500 stores in 31 countries, has set a goal of having more than 15,000 outlets in the U.S.
