Parent of Dunkin’ Donuts gives $250,000 to UNH center

DURHAM, N.H. (AP) - The University of New Hampshire is getting $250,000 from the parent company of Dunkin’ Donuts and Baskin Robbins.

The money has been donated to the university’s Rosenberg International Franchise Center, named after the founder of Dunkin’ Donuts. The center studies franchising and offers courses for business students.

Center officials say the company valued their research and thought the money could help them.

Foster’s Daily Democrat reports (https://bit.ly/1ARyqdP) the donation will be paid over five years and help launch an online International Franchise Hall of Fame, create new courses, and expand research into franchising opportunities for minorities and women, as well as international franchising.
