Dunkin' Donuts has inked a multi-unit store development agreement with a new franchise group, HT2 Franchising, to open nine new outlets throughout Reno, Nevada.
The first restaurant, under the deal, is expected to open in 2015 and the remainder by 2020. HT2 Franchising, is led by entrepreneur and Reno native Nicole Hansen.
