Baskin-Robbins announced it signed agreements with two franchisees to develop six new shops in Centerville, Texas, and South Texas over the next several years. Four shops will open in 2010 and the remaining units will open next year.
Locations targeted for development include the following: Five units will be developed in the Edinburg/Brownsville region of South Texas by existing franchisee John Wright with the first three units opening this year, and the remaining two in 2011; and one shop will be developed this year in Centerville by new franchisee Nordin Jhaver.
“Texas is a priority growth market for Baskin-Robbins and we’re excited to expand our footprint in these two markets,” says Grant Benson, CFE, vice president of franchising and market planning for Dunkin’ Brands Inc. “We’re confident these individuals will spread the fun and unique flavors of America’s Favorite Ice Cream Shop to guests in and around their respective communities.”
