Dunkin' Donuts has a major presence in the Miami Valley and Cincinnati. The chain has expanded in recent years, adding more locations in the area. In November, this newspaper reported a Dunkin' Donuts was under construction along Ohio 63 in Monroe, and another location in Riverside celebrated its grand opening earlier that month.

This is the first ready-to-drink coffee beverage the restaurant has launched, which is an industry product that represents more than $2.3 billion in annual sales.
