Dunkin' Brands expanding throughout Southern Texas

August 5, 2013

Dunkin' Brands announced today the signing of a multi-unit store development agreement with existing franchise group, Sizzling Donuts LLC, for 18 traditional Dunkin' Donut restaurants and one Dunkin' Donuts/Baskin-Robbins combination location in communities throughout Southern Texas. The first restaurant is planned to open in 2014, and the remainder by 2018.

Since April, Sizzling Donuts has signed multiunit franchise agreements to develop 43 new restaurants throughout Northern Utah, Denver, Colorado and Texas throughout the next several years.

Sizzling Donuts currently operates six Dunkin' Donuts restaurants in El Paso, Texas, one unit in Salt Lake City and another in Las Cruces, N.M. The group plans to open a total of seven additional units by the end of the year.

"We are excited to continue our expansion throughout Texas and play an important role in the daily lives of people who live, work and visit here," said Mitchell Lowe, general counsel and vice president of development for Sizzling Donuts' parent company, Sizzling Platter LLC. "We have a passion and loyalty for the brands and look forward to opening many more Dunkin' Donuts restaurants and Baskin-Robbins shops throughout Texas in the years to come."

Development opportunities throughout Texas are still available in Beaumont, Wichita Falls, Tyler and Midland/Odessa.

Additionally, opportunities exist to develop Baskin-Robbins shops across Texas.
