Dunkin' Donuts, a coffee and bakery quick-service restaurant chain, announced that Dayton, Ohio is now open for franchise sales.

The company said its plans call for the selling of franchises in Dayton as well as the surrounding counties of Mercer, Auglaize, Logan, Shelby, Champaign, Clark, Greene, Montgomery, Preble, Drake and Miami.

Dunkin' Donuts noted that its Dayton launch is part of a national growth strategy, which includes expanding in existing markets while entering new cities throughout the country. The company said that it is actively seeking new franchisees to own and operate a minimum of five new restaurants in Dayton and all throughout the country to help direct the company's future growth.

"To fulfill our national expansion goals, Dunkin' Donuts is looking for developers with a strong organization and the ability to manage multiple restaurants effectively and successfully in the Dayton market," said Lynette McKee, CFE, vice president of franchising, Dunkin' Brands, Inc. "We also look for some prior restaurant operations and real estate development experience."

According to McKee, "Dunkin' Donuts will satisfy a growing demand in Dayton for high-quality coffee and baked goods that are available all day. Dunkin' Donuts is proud to energize Americans and keep the honest, hard- working, value-driven people of this country running every day -- whether it's in a boardroom, a schoolroom or a construction site. We look forward to being a vibrant part of the community and playing an important role in the daily lives of the people who live and work in Dayton."
