Universal Hub reports that Dunkin' Donuts yesterday sued the owners of the 850 Broadway (Powderhouse) and 154 Highland Ave franchises.
The company claims that the franchisees wrongly reported their son's private school tuition as a charitable contribution, and forged the school headmaster's signature on a thank-you letter, in order to get reimbursed by the company's "marketing development fund".
Besides monetary damages, the company also wants the franchisees to remove Dunkin Donuts branding from the two Somerville stores and two others in Boston.
