America’s well-loved Dunkin’ Donuts recently announced expanding its presence in Albuquerque and the surrounding areas.

The company has signed an agreement with existing franchise group NMR LLC to develop nine new retail locations: five Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants and four multi-brand restaurants with its sister-brand Baskin-Robbins. The first store is scheduled to open in the summer of 2016.

The franchise is led by Amin Habib, Murad Fazal, and Menjinder Bhambra. “We are excited to expand the brands’ presence in New Mexico and play an important role in the daily lives of people who live, work and visit here,” said Amin Habib, Dunkin’ Donuts and Baskin-Robbins franchisee.

The Dunkin’ Donuts franchise offers flexible retail concepts for various real estate formats including free-standing restaurants, end caps, in-line sites, gas and convenience, travel plazas, universities, as well as other retail environments. The new look consists of four restaurant design options with variations in layout, color schemes, graphics, textures, furniture, and/or lighting. The franchisees can choose individual elements from the four options.

“Our enthusiastic and dedicated franchisees contribute to our brand’s growth, which has helped solidify our position as one of the fastest growing companies by unit count in the quick-service restaurant industry,”  said Grant Benson, CFE, vice president of global franchising and business development, Dunkin’ Brands. “We are thrilled these existing franchisees have expanded their portfolios in New Mexico, and know these new restaurants they are developing will satisfy a growing consumer demand in the Albuquerque community.”
