## Story

Dunkin’ Donuts has announced that fans will have a new product to enjoy this month at select retail locations. According to a recent article in QSR Magazine the brand has launched its first coffee in a can option, the Shot in the Dark coffee espresso blend. The product will be offered in three varieties: Caramel, Mocha and Vanilla. They will each be 8.1 ounces and contain 80 calories.

“Our fans have loved our ready-to-drink iced coffees as a great way to power through their day with Dunkin’ anytime and anywhere. Now, for the coffee-loving consumers who want something a little bolder than a traditional cup of coffee, but not as strong as a shot of espresso, our Shot in the Dark creates an exciting and energizing new option when on-the-go,” said Brian Gilbert, VP of Retail Business Development.

Dunkin’ Donuts plans to expand the canned product’s availability throughout 2019. In addition to this new product launch, the brand is also expanding offerings in other areas. One notable example is the Pumpkin Spice Bottled Iced Coffee, a seasonal item that is available at retail locations across the nation.
