In 1950, Bill Rosenberg opened the first Dunkin’ Donuts restaurant in Quincy, Massachusetts, and licensed the first of many franchises in 1955. When Dunkin’ Donuts founder Bill Rosenberg opened the first Dunkin’ Donuts in 1950, he had a simple philosophy:

“Make and serve the freshest, most delicious coffee and donuts quickly and courteously in modern, well-merchandised stores.”
 
This philosophy still holds true today and is the foundation that has enabled Dunkin’ Donuts to grow into the largest coffee and baked goods chain in the world.
