CANTON, Mass. – Dunkin’ Donuts announced yesterday the signing of a multi-unit store development agreement with new franchisees, Brian and Sharon Weidendorf, to develop seven restaurants in Duluth, Minnesota and the surrounding areas.
The first restaurant is planned to open in spring 2015.
Led by Brian and his wife Sharon, this new franchise group holds more than 30 years of experience in the real estate development industry. Joining this team is Pat Messina, a restaurant industry veteran, who will manage and oversee the daily operations for each restaurant.
“We are excited to expand the brand’s presence in Minnesota and play an important role in the daily lives of people who live, work and visit here,” said Brian Weidendorf, Dunkin’ Donuts franchisee.
“We have a passion and loyalty for the brand and look forward to opening our restaurants in the years to come.”
Last month, Dunkin’ Donuts announced the grand opening of a new restaurant in Rochester, Minnesota at the Kahler Grand Hotel.
In addition to this location, existing franchise group Rochester Retail Services plans to develop five freestanding Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants throughout the Rochester market over the next several years.
