Q: What is the average net operating profit for a Dunn Bros Coffee store?

A: Although we provide you with a very limited amount of information on average store sales in our UFOC, we ultimately place the burden on you to project your own sales and profit. Our goal is to guide you through a process of understanding store level economics so that you may perform a proper due diligence and determine whether or not this is the proper investment for you.

Q: Is Real Estate or Site Selection Assistance provided?

A: YES. Franchisees will receive both training and guidance in this area.

This website and the franchise sales information on this site do not represent an offer to sell a franchise. The offer of a franchise can only be made through the delivery of a franchise offering circular. Certain states require that we register the franchise offering circular in those states. We are not directing the communications on this web site to the residents of any of those states. Moreover, we will not offer or sell franchises in those states until we have registered the franchise (or obtained an applicable exemption from registration) and delivered the franchise offering circular to the prospective franchisee that complies with applicable law.
