Dunkin' Brands (NASDAQ: DNKN) intends to shutter approximately 800 of its locations permanently in 2020, targeting those with low sales volume to streamline its expenditures and operations. The news was announced as part of yesterday's earnings release, in which Dunkin' announced reinstatement of its dividend following a nearly three-month suspension beginning at the end of April. The 450 Speedway closures represents the entire lineup of Dunkin' counters at the chain's gas stations and convenience stores.
