Every Confirmed Dunkin’ Location in Canada
Last updated: 23 September 2026. No Dunkin’ locations are currently open in Canada. This page tracks every confirmed and announced site and is updated whenever Foodtastic or Inspire Brands releases new information.
Dunkin’ left Canada in 2018, closing the last of the Quebec stores that had operated since the 1960s. In May 2026 Foodtastic announced a master franchise agreement with Inspire Brands to bring the brand back, targeting 600 to 700 locations nationally.

Why Quebec First
Dunkin’ was a Quebec institution before it was anything else in Canada. At its peak in the 1990s the chain ran more than 200 Quebec locations and held meaningful share against Tim Hortons in Montreal. The decline through the 2000s was driven by underinvestment in store standards rather than lack of demand, and a 2012 court ruling found in favour of franchisees who argued the parent company had failed to protect the brand.
Foodtastic is headquartered in Montreal and already operates a large Quebec franchise network, which makes the province the natural launch base. The brand also retains genuine name recognition there in a way it does not elsewhere in Canada.
