Pernod SA, which recently purchased Allied Domecq PLC, the British parent of Dunkin' Donuts, Baskin Robbins and Togo's, announced on May 3, 2005 that it expects a quick sale of the restaurant chains. Pierre Pringuet, Pernod's joint managing director, said that the three restaurant chains, estimated to be worth nearly $2.3 billion, have attracted both private equity and strategic buyers.
