Sack of Donuts, LLC is led by brothers Mike and Andy Knapick and Dewayne White, former NFL starting defensive end for the Detroit Lions. The local entrepreneurs also own eight Jimmy John’s and a Bar Louie operation spread out between the South Bend and Kalamazoo markets.  ” Our team has built a strong reputation with our two current concepts and we’re very excited about adding a third operation to our portfolio and expanding Dunkin’ Donuts’ presence in South Bend, Kalamazoo and Portage,” said Mike Knapick, Managing Member, Sack of Donuts, LLC. “We all have a strong passion and loyalty for the brand and know Dunkin’ Donuts will thrive in each of these markets.” In addition to the development agreement mentioned above, Dunkin’ Donuts is seeking new and existing franchisees to develop restaurants in Milwaukee, Chicago, Atlanta, Tampa, Washington, DC, and Detroit. To drive its expansion efforts, Dunkin’ Donuts has aligned its strategy to support the growth opportunities and consumer needs of individual markets. As a result, the company continues to expand with single and multi-unit opportunities with no minimum unit requirements.  Ideally, franchisees should possess a minimum net worth of $500,000 and liquid assets of at least $250,000, but financial qualifications will vary based on the opportunity available by market. This evolution of Dunkin’ Donuts’ franchise sales effort enables the brand to expand in markets more aggressively, while balancing its market penetration and maturity
