QSR Magazine: Booming U.S. Doughnut Franchise to Expand Overseas

The multi-unit agreement will bring ten locations to Chile in the next four years.

Duck Donuts will be bringing ten new locations to Chile. According to a recent article in QSR Magazine, the brand's recent multi-unit franchise agreement is part of an international growth push. The deal was signed with OBX Alimentos SpA and the first location is set to open in the fall.

“Doughnuts are not a staple of Chilean cuisine, but I was very surprised to see that Dunkin’ had gone from five to seven stores 15 years ago to over 80 in Chile now. I realized doughnuts were going on now, and even at local supermarkets doughnuts were being sold,” said Marcial Dieguez-Acuna, CEO of OBX Alimentos SpA.

The franchise traces its roots back to North Carolina. To date, the brand has locations either in operation or development across 23 states.
