Dunkin’ Donuts plans 46 new Indiana stores

Canton, Mass. – Dunkin’ Donuts is growing its presence in the Hoosier state. The company has signed multi-unit store development agreements with two existing franchise groups to develop 46 restaurants in Indiana during the next several years.



The two franchise groups and their development plans include existing franchise group Kings Point Ventures, which plans to develop 38 Dunkin' Donuts restaurants in Indianapolis and Fort Wayne. Ten will be located outside of the major metropolitan area. The group currently operates more than 70 Dunkin' Donuts restaurants in several states, and their next restaurant is planned to open in 2015.



In addition, existing franchisee Bud Patel plans to develop eight Dunkin' Donuts locations in Lafayette and Indianapolis. Three of these new restaurants will be located in smaller towns and communities outside Lafayette and Indianapolis. Patel currently operates more than 20 Dunkin' Donuts restaurants in the metropolitan Chicago area and Davenport, Iowa. The first restaurant is planned to open in 2016, and the remainder by 2019.



Currently, there are nearly 30 Dunkin' Donuts restaurants located throughout Indiana, and the company is continuing to recruit franchisees in the cities of Evansville and Terre Haute.
