Dunkin' vs Just Love Coffee & Cafe
Reviewed figures from each brand's Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), side by side. Each figure carries its FDD year and page. This is not a ranking or recommendation, and the two FDDs may cover different years and location groups.
Before you compare
- Dunkin' figures come from its 2026 FDD and Just Love Coffee & Cafe figures from its 2025 FDD, so the years differ.
- Dunkin' and Just Love Coffee & Cafe disclose more than one business format, so the investment range spans formats; the full report breaks them out.
- Item 19 figures cover the location groups each FDD names (Dunkin': 13, Just Love Coffee & Cafe: 1). Different groups are not directly comparable.
