Don't  You Love Donuts? 

America Runs on Dunkin'? What do you run on? 

We all know brands such as Dunkin' Donuts, Krispy Kreme, and more!  But, what makes them SO popular?  Each brand competes in an industry of loyal consumers, exciting tags lines, and innovative menus to stay on top of the latest trends.  Also, each brand offers more than JUST donuts!  Offering selections of coffee and other drinks or food helps keep the customers happy.  Who doesn't love a donut and coffee in the AM? 

Knowing the extent of what a donut franchise offers, we know their presence must be pretty powerful. For example, a Krispy Kreme franchise has an annual profit per year of about $1.2 million with Dunkin' Donuts following slightly behind bringing in about $1 million. 

These franchises also offer low investment costs with high rewards, brand strength, and easy operations.  Making these donut franchises spots a hit!
