⭐ Core Definition: Dunkin' Donuts

Dunkin' Donuts, doing business as Dunkin', is an American multinational coffee and doughnut company, as well as a fast food restaurant. It was founded by Bill Rosenberg in Quincy, Massachusetts, in 1950. The chain was acquired by Baskin-Robbins' holding company Allied Lyons in 1990. Its acquisition of the Mister Donut chain and the conversion of that chain to Dunkin' Donuts facilitated the brand's growth in North America the same year.

Dunkin' and Baskin-Robbins eventually became subsidiaries of Dunkin' Brands, headquartered in Canton, Massachusetts, in 2004. Dunkin' Brands was purchased by Inspire Brands on December 15, 2020. The chain began rebranding as a "beverage-led company", and was renamed Dunkin' in January 2019. While stores in the U.S. began using the new name, the company intends to roll out the rebranding to all of its international locations.
