Dunkin’, the renowned US coffee chain, has declared its ambitious plan to double its footprint in Costa Rica by the close of 2025. This expansion will include opening its first stores outside the country’s Greater Metropolitan Area (GAM).
Dunkin’ made its debut in Costa Rica in July 2024 with a store at the La Valencia shopping centre in Heredia. Since then, it has successfully opened seven additional outlets, the majority of which are also located in shopping centres.
In collaboration with its Costa Rican franchisee, AR Holdings, Dunkin’ intends to open eight new stores by the end of the year. These new locations will be strategically placed in high – footfall areas such as Alajuela, Moravia, Sabana, and Lindora.
Miguel Ramirez, the Chief Operating Officer of AR Holdings, shared, “The warm reception in Costa Rica has far surpassed our anticipations. This overwhelming response has motivated us to expand further and forge deeper connections with our customers. By 2025, our goal is to open eight new stores within the GAM and simultaneously take our initial steps to reach communities beyond this vibrant urban core.”
Established in Massachusetts in 1950, Dunkin’ now operates over 13,700 outlets across 40 markets worldwide. The coffee chain has a significant presence in 11 Latin American countries, boasting more than 150 stores in Colombia and dozens of outlets in Peru, Brazil, Chile, Honduras, and Ecuador each.
