Here are the latest updates on Dunkin Donuts in Canada:
Dunkin has announced a return to Canada through a master franchising agreement with Foodtastic, a major Canadian restaurant operator. The plan is to open hundreds of Dunkin locations nationwide, with the first Canadian venue expected to open in late 2026 or early 2027. This marks Dunkin’s comeback after exiting the market in 2018.

The strategy envisions rapid year-one activity, with ongoing national expansion thereafter. [Sources: Kitchener/City News coverage, 6ixRetail, CBC][2][4][6]
