Last November, JFC and its Hong Kong partner Jasmine Asset Haldings decided to terminate the master franchise agreement with Delaware-based Dunkin’ Donuts Franchising for the Dunkin’ coffee venture in China. The termination was due to difficulties in expanding its footprint in the region.

The franchise agreement covered Hong Kong, Macau and a few areas on the Chinese mainland.

The partnership began in 2015 and aimed to open more than 1,400 outlets across China within two decades.

However, the partnership had only opened seven outlets in Beijing over the past seven years, reported Nikkei Asia.
