Dunkin’ Donuts has announced it has teamed up with Coca-Cola to distribute bottled coffees starting in 2017.
This marks Dunkin’ Donuts’ first entry into the ready to drink coffee category, with the bottles expected to be available in grocery stores across the US.
Financial terms of the agreement have not been disclosed.
Nigel Travis Dunkin’ Brands Chairman and chief executive officer said: “We are delighted to be working with The Coca-Cola Company, a world-class partner that will provide us with world-class consumer access, by bringing ready-to-drink Dunkin’ Donuts coffee to the refrigerator cases of grocery, convenience stores and mass merchandisers, as well as inside Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants, across the United States.
“This new product introduction will increase consumption of Dunkin’ Donuts coffee and increase our brand relevance with existing and new consumers, including many younger customers, which we believe will in turn, drive incremental visits to our restaurants.”
Dunkin’ Donuts has partnered with The Coca-Cola Company since 2012 to serve Coca-Cola products, including soft drinks, juices, enhanced waters and energy drinks at Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants in the United States and select markets around the globe.
