About Dunkin’ Donuts
What started as a simple “meals and coffee” delivery in 1946 in the outskirts of Boston, Massachusetts gave birth to a coffee and donut shop named Dunkin’ Donuts in 1950. In the 1960s, Dunkin’ Donuts founder William Rosenberg established an International Franchising Association that paved the way for the brand’s business franchising model.
In the Philippines, it was 1981 when Dunkin Donuts’ flagship outlet in the country opened at what was known as the Quad Car Park (now Park Square) in Makati.
This baked goods and coffee store has a chain of more than 800 outlets nationwide serving products such as Donuts, Munchkins, Coffee, Hot and Cold Beverages, Croissants, Bunwiches, Brownies, and Muffins.
