Dunkin’ Donuts has just opened its newest hotel location at the Great Wolf Lodge in Sandusky, Ohio, making it the fifth restaurant to open under a franchising agreement between Dunkin’ Donuts and Great Wolf Resorts. Dunkin’ Donuts has existing restaurants at Great Wolf Lodge in Concord in North Carolina, Williamsburg in Virginia, Traverse City in Michigan and Fitchburg in Massachusetts. Great Wolf Resorts Inc. owns and operates all five of these locations, which serve Dunkin’ Donuts’ menu that includes a range of hot and iced coffee and espresso beverages, a variety of donuts, muffins and croissants and oven-toasted breakfast sandwiches. Dunkin’ Donuts is seeking growth both with Dunkin’ Donuts and Baskin-Robbins, the company’s sister brand, individually or as combination units in the hotel sector. Flexible design options are available to suit any lodging facility, including full retail restaurants, kiosks and self-serve hot coffee stations perfect for gift shops and general stores. Dunkin’ Donuts and Baskin-Robbins locations can also be designed to suit specific areas such as snack bars and convention registration areas. “Expansion in lodging continues to be a focus for our brands, and we continue to seek the right franchisees to expand our presence in hotels around the country,” said Chris Burr, Director of Non-Traditional Development. “The first Dunkin’ Donuts location at Great Wolf Lodge opened in 2009 and over the past six years they have proven to be a valued partner of ours.”
