Soon enough Starbucks won&rsquo;t be the only coffee chain selling ready-to-drink coffee to the masses. According to a <a href="http://www.cnbc.com/2016/09/29/dunkin-to-challenge-starbucks-with-ready-to-drink-coffee.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=cnbc-watch-out-starbucks-dunkin-to-sell-ready-to-drink-coffee-6163" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">recent CNBC article</a>, Dunkin&rsquo; Donuts has announced that they will be partnering with Coca-Cola to launch a line of cold coffee drinks in 2017 in the U.S.

Not only will this challenge their big time competitor Starbucks by entering the ready-to-drink coffee category, but in terms of partnerships it will be competing with a strong alliance--the North American Coffee Partnership--between PepsiCo and Starbucks.

This isn&rsquo;t the first time Dunkin&rsquo; Donuts has taken a page out of Starbucks&rsquo; product book. The brand recently launched cold-brewed coffee and pumpkin spice lattes to their menu, which have previously had great success on the Starbucks&rsquo; menu.

&quot;This new product introduction will increase consumption of Dunkin&#39; Donuts coffee and increase our brand relevance with existing and new consumers, including many younger customers, which we believe will in turn, drive incremental visits to our restaurants,&quot; Nigel Travis, CEO and chairman of Dunkin&#39; Brands said in a statement.

Consumers will soon be able to find the iced coffee drinks in convenience stores, grocery stores and of course in Dunkin&rsquo; Donuts locations across the country.
