William Rosenberg

William Rosenberg

William Rosenberg (June 10 1916 – September 20 2002) created the doughnut chain Dunkin' Donuts. The chain grew to include over 1800 shops before it was bought out by Allied-Lyons in 1989.

Rosenberg also founded The International Franchise Association (IFA) in 1960. Today, the IFA encompasses more than 900 franchisers and over 30,000 franchisee members. The group continues to play a key role in franchising, which accounts for almost fifty percent of all retail business done in America.
