Humble Beginnings

Armand Rosamilia's story begins in the depths of the Great Depression. Born into a family of Italian immigrants, he grew up in a modest home with little financial means. Despite the challenges, he possessed an unyielding spirit and an unwavering dream to make a difference.

After graduating from high school, Rosamilia enlisted in the United States Navy. His experiences during World War II instilled in him a strong work ethic and a deep appreciation for camaraderie. Upon his return home, he worked various odd jobs, including driving a taxi and delivering newspapers.

The Birth of Dunkin' Donuts

In 1946, Rosamilia partnered with William Rosenberg, a fellow Navy veteran, to open a small donut shop in Quincy. They named it Open Kettle, but it struggled to gain traction.

Undeterred, Rosamilia spent countless hours experimenting with recipes and perfecting his craft. He realized that the key to success lay in creating donuts that were fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious.

In 1950, Rosamilia and Rosenberg rebranded their donut shop as Dunkin' Donuts. The name, a nod to the popular donut machine they used, proved to be a stroke of genius.
