A permit for the new construction of a Dunkin’ located at 12005 State Rd 52 in Hudson was updated on Oct 14, paving the way for the quick-service dessert company to expand its footprint in the Tampa region, according to Florida public records.
In an email sent to What Now Tampa, franchisee Tom Masson said he was “still working on the details of this site,” and declined to comment further.
The first Dunkin’ appeared in Quincy, MA in 1950, courtesy of Bill Rosenberg, who went on to franchise the brand a mere five years later. Today, the company boasts more than 11,300 outposts worldwide, with more than 8,500 of those in 41 states and another 3,200 residing in 36 countries abroad.
As such, the company fancies itself “the world’s leading baked goods and coffee chain, serving more than 3 million customers each and every day,” according to its website, with some 50 varieties of donuts including its iconic seasonal favorites as well as signature coffee drinks.
