Dunkin' was popular in Quebec in the 1990s but left Canada in 2018.

Foodtastic's CEO wants to open 600-700 Dunkin' locations in Canada.

The first Dunkin' location will open in late 2026 or early 2027.

It will take time to find sites and franchisees, says the CEO.

A new Dunkin' location will open every week within 12 months.
