Dunkin' Donuts plans Michigan expansion

Dunkin' Donuts plans to open more than 100 new restaurants in the Detroit, Flint, and Lansing areas over the next several years.

The Canton-based bakery restaurant chain is in the midst of a national expansion.

Dunkin' Donuts has been serving brewed coffee and bakery items for more than half a century. The company says it sells 2.7 million cups of coffee a day.

The announcement comes as some other food and beverage chains, including Starbucks Corp. and the Cheesecake Factory Inc., say they will scale back expansion plans.
