Dunkin' Brands Group Inc said that they plan to bring Baskin-Robbins' colorful ice cream cakes to Germany in the coming year. The company said that they plan to open Dunkin' Donuts store all across Europe as the region bounces back from its economic slump.

The Massachusetts-based company has outlined plans to open nearly 150 stores throughout Germany in the next five years. Currently, Dunkin' Donuts operates more than 35 stores in Europe. The company said that they are looking into opening stores across France and the United Kingdom.

"We're very excited about Europe," Chief Executive Officer Nigel Travis said. "Europe is about to start recovering. Germany is a very strong coffee market and bakery market."

"France is an interesting country and it's certainly on our list to look at," Travis said. "Pain au chocolat may look pretty good in Dunkin' Donuts," he said with a laugh.

The Dunkin' Donuts Brands Group reported sales of approximately US$8.8 billion for 2012. Dunkin' Donuts was awarded the No. 2 slot in Zagat's 2012 Fast Food Survey for Best Coffee. Currently, there are more than 10,500 Dunkin' Donuts restaurants located in 31 countries.
