For the first restaurant, which is expected to open next year, Manchester Enterprises is targeting markets throughout Houston, including Sugarland, Missouri City, Pearland, Friendswood, Galveston and Texas City.
Manchester Enterprises chief operations officer Kirby Dolliole said: “We have always admired the Dunkin’ and Baskin-Robbins business models and have continued to monitor their growth over the years.
“Throughout my career, I have had the pleasure to cross paths with many Dunkin’ franchise owners who have consistently raved about the brand and their support structure.”
Dunkin’ currently has a total of 160 restaurants in Texas and is continuing to recruit franchisees in the areas that surround Houston, Austin, Beaumont and Odessa.
