History
William Rosenberg founded Dunkin' Donuts in 1950. By 1954, Mr. Rosenberg had opened a total of five Dunkin' Donuts shops, and had been featured as a young entrepreneur in national publications such as The Saturday Evening Post and Coronet magazine.
Togo's Subs was established in 1968 near the San Jose State University campus in California. In 1971, a former student by the name of Mike Cobler purchased the store, upgraded the menu, and changed the name to Togo's Eatery.
Baskin-Robbins was founded in 1946 in Glendale, CA.
Allied Domecq PLC, a global business specializing in wine and spirits production and distribution, and quick-service restaurant operations, was established in 1994 when Allied-Lyons acquired Pedro Domecq, the leading spirits company in Spain and Mexico. Baskin-Robbins had earlier been incorporated into the organization in 1978, when Allied Breweries acquired J Lyons, whose holdings included the Glendale, CA-based ice cream company. Dunkin' Donuts, previously an independently owned company founded in Quincy, MA, was acquired in 1989.
In 1997, Allied Domecq acquired San Jose, CA-based Togo's Eatery, rounding out a full-day options of brands in breakfast with Dunkin' Donuts, lunch and dinner with Togo's, and afternoon or evening treats with Baskin-Robbins.
Pernod Ricard, a French wine and spirits company, acquired Allied Domecq in 2005.
