N.C. convenience stores buying Dunkin' Donuts franchise licenses

August 2, 2010

Grabbing a signature Dunkin' Donut in North Carolina is about to get a little more convenient.

Four Wilco Hess locations in the state are buying Dunkin' Donuts franchise licenses to open the chain within their gas station and convenience store locations, according to the Wilson Daily Times.

The Dunkin' Donuts additions will be nontraditional and will not include seating. Each will be located in the Wilson, N.C. area.

City permits and compliance of zoning rules are required before the official openings.

Trade Wilco Hess began adding Dunkin' Donuts to its stores about two years ago. It operates 360 gas stations and convenience stores throughout North and South Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia.
