who was the parent company of dunkin donuts in 1990?
dunkin brands
the term "donuts" was already trademarked by one of the largest spanish bakery firms, panrico, so the company was born as a joint venture between dunkin' donuts' then-parent allied domecq and panrico (only spanish shareholders, representing 50%) in order to use the brand name "dunkin' donuts". in 2007, after dunkin' donuts bought out panrico's 50% share, the stores were rebranded to "dunkin' coffee". as of 2017, there are 59 dunkin' coffee locations in spain, the majority of which are in barcelona, madrid, and málaga. their slogan, "juntos es mejor", translates to "together is better".

dunkin' donuts
despite once having hundreds of stores nation wide, dunkin' donuts and its market share all but vanished from canada by the turn of the century. in the late 1990s to early 2000s, the chain began disappearing from all regions of canada, with its last foothold in the province of quebec. however, its decline was most apparent in quebec, where the chain once had 210 stores but by mid 2017 had only three—the last franchisees in the country. by then only one free standing store had the facilities to make donuts fresh on site; the other two were merely shopping-mall food-court stands, dependent on the delivery of baked goods from the main store. one of the main reasons for dunkin' donuts' decline was competition with tim hortons, similar to tim hortons' own decline in the northeastern united states due to heavy competition from dunkin' donuts. a group of dunkin' donuts franchisees won a c$16.4 million civil court judgement against the parent company for failing to adequately promote the brand in canada. in september 2018, after 57 years of operating in canada, dunkin' donuts ceased business in that country when it refused to renew its franchise license to the few remaining stores left. all remaining canadian locations were closed or rebranded as independent businesses in late 2018 - ending the presence of dunkin' donuts in the country.
