Tim Hortons<\/a> is about to face some competition as the iconic American coffee and donuts chain Dunkin\u2019 Donuts<\/a> plans to return to the Canadian market with hundreds of locations across the country.<\/p>\n On Tuesday, Foodtastic, one of Canada\u2019s leading restaurant operators, announced it has signed a master franchising agreement with Dunkin\u2019 Donuts\u2019 parent company, Inspire Brands, to expand across Canada.<\/p>\n Dunkin\u2019 Donuts officially left the Canadian Market back in 2018, after it closed its last remaining locations in Quebec.<\/p>\n \u201cBringing Dunkin\u2019 back to Canada is a significant growth opportunity for Foodtastic and our franchise partners across the country,\u201d said Foodtastic founder and chief executive Peter Mammas in a press release.<\/p>\n Under the new agreement, Foodtastic will have exclusive rights to develop the Dunkin\u2019 brand nationally through both corporate and franchise-operated locations.<\/p>\n The company said the first Dunkin\u2019 location in Canada is expected to open in late 2026 or early 2027, with a menu featuring a range of hot and iced coffees, espresso beverages, teas, doughnuts, sandwiches and snacks.<\/p>\n More to come\u2026<\/p>\n
