Dunkin' Donuts has signed a multiunit store development agreement with new franchise group, HT2 Franchising LLC, to develop nine new restaurants throughout Reno, Nev. The first restaurant is expected to open in 2015 and the remainder by 2020.
HT2 Franchising LLC is led by entrepreneur and Reno native Nicole Hansen. Alongside her team, she will manage and oversee the company's daily operations for each restaurant. Hansen previously owned six privately-branded coffee shops in Washington State.
"We are very excited to bring Dunkin' Donuts to Reno, and make the company's famous beverages, baked goods and sandwiches available to an ever-growing base of customers," Hansen said. "We have a passion and loyalty for the brand and look forward to the opening of our Dunkin' Donuts restaurants in the years to come."
With this agreement, Dunkin' Donuts franchise agreements are sold out in Reno, but opportunities exist to grow the brand throughout the West in Colorado and California.
