Dunkin Donuts Thailand has opened its first drive-thru outlet.

Local franchisee Mudman launched the new outlet earlier this month at the Porto Go rest-stop in Ayutthaya’s Bang Pa-in district.

Mudman CEO Nadim Xavier Salhani said drive-thrus “are a rapidly growing trend in Thailand given that convenience is becoming a key element in people’s lives”.

“Dunkin Donuts has been looking for ways to diversify its experience in the last three quarters.”

The brand’s local MD Nobklao Trakoolpan said the branch will also include a co-working area, making it “the largest Dunkin Donuts store with a drive-thru in the Asia Pacific”.

Of 300 Dunkin Donuts Thailand stores, just under half are “concept stores”, including the new drive-thru.
