About Dunkin’ Donuts
America Runs on Dunkin’®
When Dunkin’ Donuts founder Bill Rosenberg opened the first Dunkin’ Donuts in 1950, he had a simple philosophy: “Make and serve the freshest, most delicious coffee and donuts quickly and courteously in modern, well-merchandised stores.” This philosophy still holds true today and is the foundation that has enabled Dunkin’ Donuts to grow intoAmerica’s favorite everyday, all-day stop for coffee and baked goods. Dunkin’ Donuts is a leading retailer of hot and iced regular coffee-by-the-cup in America, and the largest coffee and baked goods chain in the world. The original Dunkin’ Donuts experience was a single cup of coffee with a donut – today Dunkin’ Donuts offers a wide range of coffee, coffee-related beverages, baked goods, and an expandingall-day Oven-Toasted menu. Dunkin’ Donuts is still using the original proprietary coffee blend recipe established by its founder. With coffee leading the charge, beverages accounted for nearly 60 percent of Dunkin’ Donuts’ 2008 U.S. sales. The remaining 40 percent of sales are bakery items such as donuts, bagels, muffins, as well as new Oven-Toasted products, including hash browns and new Flatbreadsandwiches.
