Dunkin' Donuts announced today that the company is recruiting franchisees in Colorado with an emphasis on the cities of Grand Junction, Glenwood Springs and Durango. Currently, there are 11 Dunkin' Donuts restaurants in the state.

In a news release, Dunkin' Donuts said it was continuing to expand in contiguous markets across the country with a long-term goal of having more than 15,000 Dunkin' Donuts restaurants in the United States alone.

The company has designed special development incentives for the Colorado market, including reduced royalty fees for three years and up to $10,000 in local store marketing for stores that meet certain goals*.

Dunkin' Donuts offers flexible concepts for various real estate formats, including freestanding restaurants and end caps, as well as in-line sites, gas stations and convenience stores, travel plazas, universities, and other retail environments, the release said.

Dunkin' Donuts' new look includes four distinct restaurant design options for franchisees, each featuring variations in layout, color scheme, graphics, textures, furniture and lighting. Dunkin' Donuts allows franchisees to select individual elements from any of the four options to create their own restaurant design. 

"By joining our team, franchisees become part of a nationally established brand that has been in existence for over 60 years, has 95 percent brand recognition in the U.S., a multi-million dollar national advertising fund, world-class training and ongoing support, among many other benefits," Grant Benson, CFE and vice president of global franchising and business development for Dunkin' Brands, said in the release.
