Dunkin' Donuts, established in 1950 by Bill Rosenberg in Quincy, Massachusetts, has evolved into a global leader in the coffee and baked goods sector. Headquartered in Canton, Massachusetts, the brand began franchising in 1955, rapidly expanding its footprint both domestically and internationally.

Dunkin’ Donuts does not offer territory protection to its franchisees. Each franchise agreement specifies the right to operate a single restaurant at a designated location.
Franchisees are not granted exclusive territories or additional rights to develop or operate other restaurants beyond the specified location. The agreement also explicitly states that the franchisor, other franchisees, or even competitive brands controlled by the franchisor may operate within the same area.
Furthermore, the lack of exclusive territory means franchisees might face direct competition from other Dunkin’ Donuts locations, company-owned outlets, or alternative distribution channels managed by the franchisor.
