Industry
Other
Dunkin', formerly Dunkin' Donuts, is a globally recognized coffee and baked goods chain serving customers since 1950. With approximately 14,000 locations in 39 countries, Dunkin' ranks as one of the world's largest coffee and doughnut shop chains.
In 2014, Dunkin' expanded into California by opening its first traditional restaurants in Downey and Whittier. These locations are operated by Prell Restaurant Group, founded by Danny and Coby Sonenshine.
Over the years, Prell Restaurant Group has continued developing and managing multiple Dunkin' locations across Southern California. For example, a 24-hour drive-thru restaurant opened in Bell Gardens in 2016.
Company Evolution and Brand Focus
In 2019, Dunkin' Donuts rebranded as Dunkin', shifting to a "beverage-led" company. The focus moved toward coffee and frozen drinks to align with evolving consumer preferences and market trends.
This strategic move helped Dunkin' remain relevant and competitive in the modern coffee market.
