Van der Valk International (VDVI) have acquired a majority stake in Dunkin’ Netherlands and Belgium. The Dutch based company will now own and operate the 76 Dunkin’ sites across Belgium and the Netherlands.

 

VDVI is part of the Vand der Valk business empire. Van der Valk launched in 1862 with a café in Voorschoten, the Netherlands – since then the company has expanded to over 100 hotels and restaurants, across the globe.

 

VDVI is planning to open 60 new stores across Dunkin’ Netherlands and Belgium over the next 5 years.

 

Dunkin’ Brands were acquired in 2020 by Inspire Brands, who own and operate Arby’s, Buffalo Wings, Sonic and Jimmy John’s brands.

 

Dunkin’ Donuts are planning other large expansion roll outs, across other markets – the firm Golden Horn Group, acquired nine stores in Massachusetts, earlier this year, and has stated their plans to open 150 Dunkin’ sites across the US by Q4 2028.

 

In the UK, the brand have opened their newest store in Hammersmith, London (by the London Underground station entrance). With the Grand Opening on the 15th October 2023, customers will have even more choice, as the store is located near a Wasabi, Paul Bakery, Krispy Kreme, Leon and Greggs.

 

Another successful market for Dunkin’ Donuts is The Philippines, where there are now officially over 800 stores, following a number of new openings across the summer of 2023.
