## Story

From Canada comes something sweet.

## US expansion plans

The 55-unit D-Spot Dessert Café is scheduled to officially open in Dallas on July 11. It’s the franchised dessert chain’s first unit in the U.S. as the Toronto-based brand plots international expansion.

Founded in 2014, D-Spot is known for its dessert menu, including indulgent Belgian waffles, crepes, milkshakes, milk cakes, and croffles.

The beverage menu also includes coffee-based drinks, tea and dirty sodas. And there are build-your-own dessert options in which guests can create a crepe or waffle topped with any number of sweet things, from ice cream and Lotus Cookie Butter, to cheesecake bites, Smarties, or white chocolate pearls.

Some savory items are also on the menu, including burgers, pizza, pasta, wings, and poutine.

## Franchise and menu

The outlet is franchised by Abdul Khan with Faizan Mirza.

“Opening D-Spot’s first U.S. location is an important milestone for our team,” said Khan, in a statement. “Dallas has an incredible food culture, and we’re excited to introduce a dessert café experience built around quality, creativity, and warm hospitality.”

The chain’s website lists additional locations coming to Houston, as well as Atlanta, Chicago, and Nashville.

Kaan Sayiner, who was recently named president and CEO of the franchise company, said the opening in Dallas marks a significant step in D-Spot’s growth strategy for expansion into the U.S.

“With a strong Canadian footprint, we’re excited to bring our dessert experience to new communities as part of our broader U.S. expansion,” said Sayiner in a statement.
