National DCP Opening Corporate Office in Duluth

National DCP LLC, the exclusive sourcing, purchasing, and distribution partner for Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants, is opening a corporate office in the Duluth area in August 2013 and creating 125 full-time administrative jobs locally.

Announcement of NDCP’s plans was made by the company and Gwinnett Chamber Economic Development in a news release Friday (May 31). www.gwinnetteconomicdevelopment.com

“We are opening this new office to better serve our customers, the Dunkin’ Donuts franchisees,” said Scott Carter, National DCP CEO, in the news release.

“Dunkin’ Donuts has announced its plans to double in size with significant growth occurring primarily in the South, Southwest and West. In support of the rapidly expanding Dunkin’ chain, we decided that the company’s headquarters needed to be located in a more geographically central location, and after a great deal of study, we chose Gwinnett County, metro Atlanta." Carter said.

About half of the 135 administrative positions currently located in the NDCP Bellingham, MA, corporate offices will be given the opportunity to relocate to Gwinnett County or remain locally. More than 1,100 NDCP employees, including those who work on the operations side of the 35 distribution centers and hubs across the country, will not be affected by the move, as they will continue to play a key role in the distribution of products to Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants nationwide, according to the news release.

“This Gwinnett County location was chosen after researching multiple communities and sites. Gwinnett Economic Development and the state of Georgia have been extremely helpful in providing relocation assistance, resources, and training,” said Leo Taylor, National DCP Chief Administration Officer.

Employment opportunities at the NDCP location in Duluth are accessible via the “Career” tab on the company’s website at www.nationaldcp.com.
