"Earlier this year we announced our new agreement with our two long-standing partners to offer new and existing customers throughout the U.S. and Canada more options for purchasing Dunkin' K-Cup pods. Today, we mark a key moment in our brand's history of coffee leadership as Dunkin' K-Cup pods are now available at thousands of retail outlets nationwide and online," said John Fassak, Vice President, Dunkin' Brands New Business Development. "This is an exciting milestone for our company, and we very much look forward to continuing our partnership with The J.M. Smucker Company and Keurig to bring our famous coffee to more customers, and meet growing consumer demand for single-serve, at home coffee." "This is exciting for the growth of both The J.M. Smucker Company and the entire coffee category," said Steve Oakland, President, Coffee and Foodservice of The J.M. Smucker Company. "Our company has had a long and successful relationship with Dunkin' Brands to bring the legendary taste of Dunkin' Donuts' coffee to grocery stores all across the country. We are thrilled to further our partnership and expand the Smucker coffee portfolio by now bringing Dunkin' K-Cup pods into retail channels, including wherever groceries are sold." "Our existing consumers and retail partners told us they wanted broader availability of Dunkin' K-Cup pods and we are excited to expand the distribution for Keurig consumers who know and love Dunkin' Donuts' signature coffee," said Dan Cignarella, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships at Keurig. "The expanded distribution of Dunkin' Donuts pods also offers a unique opportunity to attract new consumers who have affinity for Dunkin' Donuts' coffee but who haven't yet tried the quality and convenience of single serve with a Keurig brewing system."
