Coffee chain Dunkin’ plans to double its UK estate over the next two years, opening 10 new outlets by the end of 2023.
The 30-strong brand’s imminent expansion will see the coffee and donut concept open a string of new stores in the capital, starting with a flagship store on Wardour Street in September.
Currently, the US-born chain operates outlets predominantly in the north of England, including Sheffield, Manchester, Leeds and Liverpool, as well as one site in London.
Dunkin’ licensee QFM Group said five of the new stores expected to open within the next four months will be in the London.
The brand currently operates more than 13,200 stores across 38 markets, including over 9,200 outlets in the US.
Arjun Patel, director, QFM Group, said, “We are thrilled to be on this journey with Dunkin’ in the UK expanding our footprint in the capital.
”We have had real success in the North of England since opening and to support our great location in Baker Street, additional new store openings in the capital this year will enable more Londoners to access our iconic brand,”
“Opening a flagship store in London is a major milestone for the brand as part of its international growth strategy and it will help to bring us closer to our mission of energising the world through great-tasting coffee and donuts,” added Michael Haley, president and managing director of International at Inspire Brands, which owns Dunkin’.
