Dunkin Brands, the parent company of Dunne Dole, reported that Q3 revenue fell 1.3 per cent to $207 million in the quarter ended Sept. 24. However, due to cost cuts such as general administrative expenses, net profit increased by 14.2% over the same period.

Dunkin Brands may want to move faster than its old rival Starbucks. As of 2015, Starbucks had 23000 stores worldwide, while Dunkin Brands had 19000. But Starbucks has big ambitions, too. Just this month, it announced plans to expand in Southeast Asia and China.

In addition to accelerating expansion, Dunkin Brands also said it would make more efforts on customer service and higher profit margins to capture the market. Earlier this month, it announced that it had launched a customer loyalty program, DDPerks, in partnership with enterprise service platform Salesforce, to provide customers with a rich personalized content push experience; in late September, it also announced that it would enter the bottled coffee market with Coca-Cola against Star Frappuccino, which currently accounts for 75% of the US bottled coffee market.
