A company spokesperson told Insider that the new branding is currently only being rolled out in the US and Canada, and that stores would be updated to reflect this on a rolling basis. Baskin-Robbins has more than 7,700 stores in 52 countries, including over 2,400 in the US, and is part of Dunkin' Brands, which was bought by Inspire brands in 2020 for around $11.3 billion. The pandemic, a fragmented market, and changing consumer tastes have forced fast food chains to adopt new strategies to buoy growth.
