The multi-brand sites will allow customers to access Dunkin’ products alongside Inspire Brands’ other leading concept, Baskin-Robbins.
Inspire Brands, the parent company of F&B mainstays like Arby’s, Buffalo Wild Wings, and SONIC Drive-In, has announced the signing of multiple store development agreements across Texas for its Dunkin’ brand, with new franchisee Priceless Coffee, Inc., and existing partner Gratitude Restaurant Group, Inc.
Both of the groups will open 10 new Dunkin’ stores throughout Dallas and four multi-brand sites with Baskin-Robbins. In addition, existing partners Jamal and Claudia Awale have purchased five existing Dunkin’ sites and plan to develop at least six new locations across Houston.
There are currently more than 170 Dunkin’ restaurants and 100 Baskin-Robbins shops located in Texas, and Inspire Brands plans to recruit more franchisees in the surrounding areas of Austin and San Antonio.
“Dunkin’ and Baskin-Robbins’ growth would not be possible without the introduction of new franchisees to the system, coupled with dedicated existing franchisees, which demonstrates their high confidence in our brands and world-class support team,” said Grant Benson, CFE, senior vice president of franchising and development, Inspire Brands.
“Our hardworking and dedicated franchisees bring the Dunkin’ and Baskin-Robbins brands, products, and promotions to life each and every day and have been essential to our growth over the years; especially across key markets such as Texas, which has solidified our position as a leader in the quick-service restaurant industry.”
Priceless Coffee, Inc. is owned by Syed Ahmad, who brings more than 30 years of multi-unit franchise operations in the QSR industry to the table. Gratitude Restaurant Group, Inc. is owned by Rishad Rajabali, and currently operates nearly 30 Dunkin’ and Baskin-Robbins sites in Chicago, Illinois, and Texas.
