Dunkin'

The story of Dunkin’ began in 1948 with a donut and coffee restaurant in Quincy, Massachusetts called “Open Kettle.” Founder William Rosenberg served donuts for five cents and premium cups of coffee for ten cents. After a
brainstorming session with his executives, Rosenberg renamed his restaurant “Dunkin’ Donuts” in 1950. His goal was to, “make and serve the freshest, most delicious coffee and donuts quickly and courteously in modern, well-merchandised stores,” a philosophy which still holds true today.

Since 1950, the number of Dunkin’ restaurants has increased to more than 12,500 worldwide, with locations in 46 countries. The company serves approximately 2 billion cups of hot and iced coffee every year, with standards for coffee excellence that are among the best in the industry.
