The agreement, which was effective the first of the year upon the merger of the four existing regional franchisee-owned cooperatives into one national cooperative, offers numerous financial savings and service-improvement benefits to Dunkin’ franchisees.
These include:
For Dunkin’ Brands, the agreement allows the company to realise the benefits of a long-term, performance-based procurement and distribution agreement.
Most importantly, the agreement supports the company’s domestic expansion plans by providing franchisees in new markets with the same product costs as franchisees in the more highly built-out, established Dunkin’ markets.
Uniform product costs will be phased in over a three-year period beginning in 2012.
