Dunkin' Donuts Enters Lodging Market

  • April 14, 2009
Dunkin' Donuts is entering the lodging market with the opening of its first hotel restaurant location at the Great Wolf Lodge in Concord, N.C., one of North America's largest indoor water park resorts.

Dunkin' Donuts is offering a variety of store models to suit any lodging property, including full retail shops, kiosks and self-serve hot coffee stations perfect for gift shops and general stores. Models can be designed to suit specific areas such as snack bars and convention registration areas. Dunkin' Donuts' bakery products can be prepared in the property's own kitchen, with the addition of some simple equipment, allowing the food and beverage team flexibility to manage product inventory in accordance with guest traffic. Chris Burr, Dunkin' Donuts Director of Alternate Points of Distribution and a 20-year veteran of the lodging industry, will lead the development efforts. Dunkin' Donuts will focus initially on larger airport hotels, resorts and vacation ownership locations throughout the East, Midwest and Southwest portions of the country. --Nina Lentini
