Dunkin' (formerly known as Dunkin' Donuts) is spending $100 million to become a major player in coffee. CEO Dave Hoffmann says espresso is going to be key to fueling the company's long-term growth. The shift in strategy comes at a time when traffic in stores has slowed and annual comparable store sales have taken a dip since 2017.

The question now - will Dunkin' be able to stand out in a crowded field as it bets big on becoming a major player in the coffee wars.
