Dunkin’ Brands Shutters Half its China Doughnut, Ice Cream Shops

Dunkin’ Brands Group Inc. has temporarily closed about half of its 71 Dunkin’ and Baskin-Robbins locations in China during the outbreak of coronavirus.

The company has also started a global task force, and is distributing masks to its employees in China, Chief Executive Officer Dave Hoffmann said in an interview Thursday. While just a small percentage of Dunkin’s business comes from China, the company is “trying to stay as close as we can to this.”
