CANTON, MASS. — For Dunkin’ Brands Group, Inc., 2013 was a “strong growth year” as the quick-service restaurant chain opened more than 50 non-traditional U.S. locations during the year. New sites were set up at airports and other mass transportation terminals, casinos and resorts, military bases, and colleges and universities around the country.

“Dunkin’ Brands has been developing non-traditional locations with our partners for over 20 years, and 2013 has proven to be a strong growth year for us as we continue to expand to many opportune venues,” said Grant Benson, vice-president of global franchising and business development for Dunkin’ Brands. “Our franchisees enjoy the flexibility of these sites, and guests love the convenience of grabbing their favorite food and beverage items on the go, wherever their busy schedules may take them.”
