"Very few of the approximately 450 Speedway-owned and operated limited menu Dunkin’ locations have closed to date, and we remain on track to exit Speedway by the end of 2020," said Michelle King, a Dunkin' Brands spokeswoman.
Coffee competitor Seattle-based coffee giant Starbucks announced in June that it plans to close up to 400 company-owned locations over the next 18 months.
Starbucks said that while it was closing the locations, it plans to speed up the expansion of "convenience-led formats" such as curbside pickup, drive-thru and mobile-only pickup locations.
Dunkin' reached an agreement to exit the Speedway-owned-and-operated locations along the East Coast this year, King said.
