Dunkin' Donuts is seeking to expand in communities and towns throughout Northern, Southern and Western Texas. Franchising opportunities are available for qualified franchisee candidates to purchase anywhere from one to five restaurants in regions across the state, according to a company press release.

The company is looking for community leaders who may already operate local businesses, such as other restaurants, retail outlets or even convenience stores and gas stations, who have the passion and financial qualifications in the following markets:

• North and Northeast Texas in the areas of Paris, Athens, Commerce, Sulphur Springs, Palestine, and Hillsboro.
• Southeast Texas in the areas of Beeville, Alice, Kerrville, Angleton, and Bay City, as well as in Uvalde, Del Rio and Eagle Pass.
• West Texas in the areas of Pecos, Monohans, Fort Stockton, Andrews, Big Spring, and Brownfield.

"We are excited to offer this opportunity to qualified candidates who are interested in developing a restaurant outside of larger metropolitan areas in the regions of San Antonio, Houston, Waco and more," said Grant Benson, CFE, vice president of global franchising and business development, Dunkin' Brands  "With more than 65 years in franchising, we've found the development and operation of a Dunkin' Donuts restaurant can deliver a significant impact to the community it serves and we are actively seeking local entrepreneurs to become the face of our brand in their towns."

As part of the company's growth plans throughout the state, a multi-unit store development agreement was recently signed with new franchise group WF Donuts LLC for Wichita Falls, Texas. Led by the Kurani brothers, this group will develop three Dunkin' Donuts restaurants and one multi-brand unit with sister brand Baskin-Robbins. Their first restaurant is planned to open in 2017.

"We are excited to expand the brand's presence in Texas and play an important role in the daily lives of people who live, work and visit here," said Mak Kurani, Dunkin' Donuts franchisee. "We have a passion and loyalty for the Dunkin' Donuts brand and look forward to opening our restaurants in the years to come."
