Dunkin’ Donuts, known for its widespread presence across the US, plans to close 450 locations within Speedway gas stations on the East Coast. This decision aims to redirect resources to more profitable locations. These gas station sites represent less than 0.5% of Dunkin’s domestic sales. The closures align with Dunkin’s strategy to focus on newer Dunkin’ NextGen restaurants offering a broader menu.
Hoffman said, “We’re continuing our legacy of being there when people need us most by taking these additional steps to be your place of comfort during all of this uncertainty.” Dunkin’s closure strategy reflects the evolving landscape and their dedication to serving communities amid change.
