Dunkin' Donuts (DNKN) Ushers in Fall with a Fresh Menu

JACK SBUX MCD

Ushering in good news for donut lovers, Dunkin' Brands Group, Inc. announced the launch of two innovative donut items, REESE'S Peanut Butter Square and Caramel Apple Croissant Donut. Notably, both the items are available at participating Dunkin' Donuts restaurants nationwide, but for a limited period from Aug 29.

Dunkin' Donuts' REESE'S Peanut Butter Square is packed with rich and creamy REESE'S peanut butter buttercreme, topped with chocolate icing and glazed with an orange icing drizzle. Meanwhile, the Caramel Apple Croissant Donut is a glazed croissant donut with apple filling, with a caramel icing drizzle finishing.

Additionally, Dunkin' Donuts has brought back its prime pumpkin assortments with pumpkin flavored coffees, lattes, macchiatos, donuts, MUNCHKINS and muffins.

Notably, Dunkin' Donuts' full products lineup for the fall provides one of the largest ranges of pumpkin choices offered all day long, as compared to any other national restaurant chain.

Meanwhile, Dunkin' Donuts has added new flavors for this fall, with the introduction of Salted Caramel flavored coffee, lattes and macchiatos in order to cater to coffee lovers. The new Salted Caramel flavored coffees, available in both hot and iced versions, combines sweet and salty in a scrumptious blend, and will be on offer for a limited time at Dunkin' Donuts restaurants.

Moreover, Dunkin' Donuts' newest addition to its all-day breakfast menu — Belgian Waffle Breakfast Sandwich — is also available for limited time starting Aug 29. The sandwich contains Cherrywood smoked bacon, egg and American cheese served between two thick, deep-ridged Belgian Waffles.

Dunkin' Donuts also launched a new mobile game – "Savor the Flavor" – where customers scratch a virtual waffle-themed card and can win a year of free breakfast sandwiches. The offer began on Aug 24 and runs through Sep 30.

Dunkin' Brands continues to face stiff competition from Starbucks Corporation (SBUX - Free Report) , McDonald's Corp. (MCD - Free Report) and Jack in the Box Inc. (JACK - Free Report) .

However, the unleashing of new fall flavors is likely to augment the company’s competitive position and boost store traffic.

Dunkin' Brands currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all.

It’s a little-known chemical company that’s up 65% over last year, yet still dirt cheap. With unrelenting demand, soaring 2022 earnings estimates, and $1.5 billion for repurchasing shares, retail investors could jump in at any time.
