The Financial Post reports in its Friday edition that Dunkin' plans a Canadian comeback, but Canada's biggest coffee chain says it is not worried. The Post's Denise Paglinawan writes that asked during a conference call with analysts about "a notable Northeast chain" that plans a rapid return to the Canadian market, Josh Kobza, chief executive officer of parent company Restaurant Brands International, said competition is nothing new in fast-food. Dunkin', formerly known as Dunkin' Donuts, will return to the Canadian market in late 2026 or early 2027 and plans to open hundreds of locations across the country. The move was announced in May by Canadian restaurant operator Foodtastic, which will exclusively develop the Dunkin' brand nationally through both corporate and franchise-operated locations. The return of Dunkin' could heat up the beverage and baked goods market, long dominated by Tim Hortons, as well as McDonald's. While known for its coffee and doughnuts, Dunkin' dropped "Donuts" from its name in January, 2019, and has since rebranded as a "beverage-led company," serving not only the iced coffee it's been known for, but also a variety of refreshers, lemonades, frozen drinks and zero-sugar cold beverages.
