Dunkin’ Donuts is seeking to increase its franchise locations in the U.S. Fueling this growth is the announcement that the company is looking for franchisees to open restaurants in the Greater Milwaukee area. The market is home to four restaurants.

Dunkin’ Donuts’ development throughout Greater Milwaukee is part of a steady and strategic growth strategy, which includes expanding in existing markets while entering new cities across the country to help drive the leading coffee and bakery chain’s growth. In the first half of 2010, Dunkin’ Donuts opened 338 net new locations worldwide with 75 of those new restaurants opening in the U.S. The company also signed 72 new domestic development commitments, continuing to hold its spot as one of the fastest-growing brands in the quick-serve industry.

“Dunkin’ Donuts is looking for qualified candidates with foodservice, operations, and real estate experience to join our team to help expand the brand’s footprint in Milwaukee and the surrounding areas,” says Grant Benson, vice president of franchising and market planning for Dunkin’ Brands Inc. “Our secret to success is our passionate franchisees who provide a high-level of customer service to our guests’ every day, and we encourage interested parties to contact us to learn how they can open a Dunkin’ Donuts restaurant in their community.”
