The coffee and donut chain is beginning to rollout a nationwide delivery program where, starting Monday, more than 400 Dunkin’ restaurants in NYC’s five boroughs will offer delivery through Seamless, GrubHub’s NYC brand. Stephanie Meltzer-Paul, Dunkin’ U.S. vice president of digital and loyalty marketing, tells Yahoo Finance that the goal is to have delivery available in one-third of its locations by the end of the year. If the goal is met, that would be more than 1000 Dunkin’ restaurants.
