Cafua Management Company, a Dunkin Franchisee

RestaurantsMassachusetts, United States1001-5000 Employees

With over 200 locations spanning 6 states, Cafua Management Company is the largest private Dunkin’ Donuts franchise in the US. Under the leadership of CEO, Mark Cafua, CMC prides itself on being a family company, with a People First culture, dedicated to providing the best in quality and service to our guests.

Cafua Management Company started out in 1980, when Fernando and Gilda Cafua, were presented with an opportunity that changed the course of their lives, and that of their three boys, Mark, David and Gregory. Hard working immigrants from the island of Sao Miguel, Portugal, Gilda worked as a seamstress, and Fernando juggled three jobs to make ends meet, including one as a baker for Dunkin’ Donuts. The Dunkin’ Donuts job turned into an opportunity to invest in their first store, located in Derry, NH.

Determined to make it successful, the family, including the three boys, worked tirelessly in the store, sometimes sleeping out back on a mattress hidden under a desk in the office, or napping on bags of flour and sugar.  Their hard work paid off, allowing the Cafuas to invest in more stores, and to provide more opportunity for hard working strivers like themselves.  Mark, David and Gregory remember growing up in the business fondly, and are proud to have worked in every position possible over the years, even standing on milk crates at a young age so they could take orders from behind the counter. 
 
Fernando and Gilda moved to Florida in 2007, leaving CMC in the capable hands of their sons. Mark serves as CEO, David as Chief Property Officer and Gregory as Chief Business Officer, each taking on roles that suit their strengths, and working hard to build upon their parents’ legacy.
