Dunkin’ Donuts previously operated about a dozen stores in California, but they were all shuttered by the late 1990s, the Los Angeles Times reported.
“We’ve been asked to bring Dunkin’ Donuts back to Los Angeles for many years and we’re proud to announce that the first full expression restaurant is opening in Santa Monica ahead of schedule,” said Paul Twohig, President of Dunkin’ Donuts in the U.S. and Canada. “We’re certain Dunkin’ Donuts will quickly become an integral part of Angelenos’ daily routine.”
Five stores are expected to open in the state by the end of the year, with 200 more expected in the next few years, according to the Times.
