MISTER DONUT. Harry Winokur worked with William Rosenberg in Dunkin' Donuts. After Winokur broke his partnership with Rosenberg, he went on to create Mister Donut in 1956 and had locations across most of North America.
The Mister Donut business became so popular that Mr. Winouker decided to go into franchising. As a result, Mister Donut began a rapid expansion that resulted in the opening of 275 stores in the United States and Canada.
In 1970, Minneapolis-based International Multifoods Corporation, one of the world's largest and most successful food companies, acquired Mister Donut and its franchising concept from Mr. Winouker.
It was the largest competitor to Dunkin' Donuts, which was founded in 1950, before being acquired by Dunkin' Donuts' then-parent company, Allied-Lyons, in February 1990.
After the acquisition of Mister Donut by Allied-Lyons, all Mister Donut locations within North America were offered the chance to change their name to Dunkin' Donuts. Now only a scattered few locations still hold the name Mister Donut.
