Is Dunkin Donuts a publicly-traded company?

Question

If not, is its parent company publicly traded? What's the symbol?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, no. Dunkin' Brands Inc. (the parent of Dunkin Donuts) is owned by a few private equity firms.

I tell you, though, I got a taste for donuts by answering this question! I really wish they were public, though. I think they have a stronger franchise than Krispy Kreme. I guess we'll just have to keep an eye open for an IPO.
