Veteran US bakery firm Dunkin' Donuts is planning to open 44 cafes across Poland over the next few years, it has been announced.

The company, which was founded in 1950 and currently has outlets in 37 countries worldwide, will begin its Polish operations in Warsaw.

“As we continue Dunkin' Donuts' strategic expansion across Europe, we're very pleased to announce our upcoming entry into Poland,” company chairman Paul Twohig said in a press release.

“Poland has a rich coffee culture and a growing coffee market, so we feel Dunkin' Donuts' value proposition will resonate well with guests across the country,” he added.

The American company will be cooperating with franchise group Varsovia Food Company to realise its expansion into Poland.

“We look forward to working with the group at Varsovia Food Company, who have a proven track record of success in the country, as we develop the brand in Poland,” Twohig added.

Besides donuts and coffee, the firm also sells croissants, muffins and various sandwiches.

In Poland, donuts are traditionally served with rose jam, sometimes also with white icing. However, in recent years, more experimental varieties have come onto the market. (nh)
