Research Paper

There has been a recent trend that has excelled throughout the world especially in the

younger generation in the past couple of years. That trend has been the rise of coffee, and the

coffee shop aesthetic. According to today's millennial there is nothing better than going into a

coffee shop getting your coffee, sitting down enjoying a nice pastry well writing a paper, or

catching up on the day's work. Throughout the years we have seen two frontrunners in this

specific industry compete for the top spot in the coffee shop/pastry industry. These two

companies would be Dunkin' Donuts, and Starbucks. Their products are very similar, their

marketing strategy is very similar, and their strategic plan to stay ahead of one another is also

, very similar. They have been fighting for years against each other to have the top spot in this

industry, and you can almost start a war by asking any coffee lover which one is better. Their

customers are very loyal, and their consumers keep coming back because of the outstanding

plans each company has. This paper is going to look and how each company plans to stay just

one step ahead of the other company, the research in this paper will look at each company's

marketing strategy, and strategic competitiveness goals as well.

First, let's look at Dunkin' Donuts, let's look at its history, and how the company came to

be known as what it is today. Dunkin’ donuts is a sixty-five-year-old company that has emerged

as one of America’s favorite doughnut company that also offers coffee, baked goods, and other

beverages. Dunkin’ Doughnuts has also been known to have one of the best marketing strategies

which is why their success has been so noticeable not only in the U.S but globally. Brands that

can stand the test of time are truly remarkable given the fact that they have had to go through so

much culture change and preference changes throughout the generations. Through all the rise and

falls of countless trends not only has this company managed to stay relevant, but they are still

thriving to this day. Dunkin’ Donuts is a wonderful example of such extraordinary brand

longevity.

Dunkin’ Doughnuts started as a single restaurant founded by Bill Rosenburg in Quincy,

Massachusetts in 1950. One article describes Dunkin’s early start, “Its mission back then was to

serve guests high-quality coffee and donuts with fast and friendly service at an affordable price.

Fast forward to 67 years later and Dunkin’ Donuts is still living up to that mission across its more

than 12,000 restaurants in 45 countries. While much has stayed the same, the brand has

recognized the need to make key changes and additions to maintain its relevance.” (Olenski,

2017) As Chris Fuqua, Dunkin’ Donuts’ Senior Vice President of Brand Marketing, Global

Consumer Insights and Product Innovation, explains, “Our focus is on raising the bar on the

quality and variety of foods and beverage available in the quick service industry. Our culinary
