CANTON, MA –
Dunkin’ Donuts, America’s all-day, everyday stop for coffee and baked goods, today announced the signing of a multi-store development agreement with new franchisees Buzz and Brad Calkins for 12 new restaurants in Denver, Colorado. The first restaurant is planned to open in 2013, and the remainder by 2018.
Together, this father and son duo will direct their management team as they oversee the company’s daily operations for each restaurant.

Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants in the years to come.”
Franchise opportunities are still available across Colorado in cities including Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, Greeley and South Denver. To drive its expansion efforts, Dunkin’ Donuts has aligned its strategy to support the growth opportunities and consumer needs of individual markets.
