Canton, Mass. — Dunkin’ Donuts has signed a franchise agreement with Alimentacion Mexico Americana, part of Berny Group, to develop 20 new restaurants in Mexico. With the signing of this agreement, Dunkin’ Donuts has plans to develop nearly 150 restaurants in Mexico over the coming years.
This franchise agreement covers areas including the states of Yucatán, Campeche, Quintana Roo, Veracruz, Tabasco and Chiapas.
“Our new franchisee, Alimentacion Mexico Americana, has extensive quick-service restaurant and operations experience in Mexico, and we are thrilled they have chosen to expand the Dunkin’ Donuts brand in the Yucatán region,” says Grant Benson, vice president of global franchising and business development for Dunkin’ Brands. “As we continue our ongoing expansion throughout the country, these new restaurants will satisfy a growing consumer demand for Dunkin’ Donuts in Mexico.”
Dunkin’ Donuts currently has more than 11,700 locations in 43 countries around the world.
Recently, the brand has been making strides with its development news in Mexico. In October 2015, Dunkin’ Donuts opened its first two restaurants in the country with the Mexican subsidiary of Sizzling Platter, a franchisee of Dunkin’ Donuts in the United States and China. This group signed a franchise agreement to develop more than 100 locations in the Distrito Federal, as well as the states of Hidalgo, México, Morelos, Jalisco, and Querétaro. Additionally, Grupo CF Del Noroeste signed a franchise agreement in November 2015 to develop 25 additional restaurants in the areas including Sonora, Baja California, Baja California Sur, Chihuahua, Sinaloa, Nayarit, Durango and Zacatecas.
