Dunkin' Donuts names new franchise group for W. Va.

April 5, 2013

Dunkin' Donuts announced the signing of a multi-unit store development agreement with new franchise group, Little General, for three new restaurants throughout West Virginia. The first restaurant is planned to open in 2014, and the remainder by 2018.

Little General is currently prospecting additional development areas to continue to expand the brand throughout the state.

The group has an extensive background in operating more than 60 quick-service restaurant concepts throughout West Virginia and owns more than 80 gas and convenience operations. Together, the team will manage and oversee the company's daily operations for each new restaurant.

"We are excited to expand Dunkin' Donuts' presence throughout West Virginia and play an important role in the daily lives of people who live, work and visit here," said Greg Darby, Dunkin' Donuts franchisee. "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."

The chain's development throughout West Virginia is part of the company's goal to double its U.S. footprint throughout the next 20 years. Franchise opportunities are still available in West Virginia in Charleston and Huntington.
