CANTON, Mass. – Dunkin’ Donuts announced today (Nov. 4, 2014) the signing of a multi-unit store development agreement with existing franchisees, GADI, LLC, to develop seven restaurants in Louisville, Kentucky. The group’s first two restaurants are planned to open in 2016.
Led by Manish Patel and his partners Shashin Patel, Nilam Patel, and Tarak Patel, this franchise group currently operates Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants in Upstate New York and will manage and oversee the daily operations for each new restaurant in Louisville.
“We are excited to expand the brand’s presence in Kentucky and play an important role in the daily lives of people who live, work and visit here,” said Manish Patel, Dunkin’ Donuts franchisee. “We have a passion and loyalty for the brand and look forward to opening our restaurants in the years to come.”
Currently, there are more than 15 Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants located throughout Kentucky, and the company is continuing to recruit franchisees in the cities of Lexington and Pikesville. To help fuel growth in Kentucky, special development incentives are available, which include reduced royalty fees for three years and up to $10,000 in local store marketing for stores that open on time.
In an effort to keep the brand fresh and competitive, Dunkin’ Donuts offers flexible concepts for any real estate format including free-standing restaurants, end caps, in-line sites, gas and convenience, travel plazas, universities, as well as other retail environments.
Dunkin’ Donuts’ new look includes four distinct restaurant design options for franchisees, each featuring variations in layout, color schemes, graphics, textures, furniture and/or lighting. The designs enhance the current restaurant appearance, environment and layout to serve people all day long.
