Exhibit 99.6

MA/New England Government Letter

October 31, 2020

Dear (MA & New England elected officials),

Last evening, we announced that we have entered into a definitive merger agreement under which Inspire Brands will acquire Dunkin’ Brands. If consummated, the transaction would create one of the world’s leading quick service restaurant groups. Please click here to read the announcement press release and to learn more about the agreement and about Inspire.

At the close of the transaction, which is expected to be completed by year-end, Dunkin’ and Baskin-Robbins will become privately held subsidiaries of Inspire and will operate as distinct brands within the Inspire portfolio of restaurants. While all the details have not yet been worked out, several things should remain constant:

• First and most importantly, after the close of the transaction, Dunkin’ and Baskin-Robbins will remain franchised concepts, meaning our restaurants will continue to be owned and operated by independent business owners, who live and work in the communities they serve. These franchisees will continue to create employment opportunities, to contribute to their local tax base, to hire local service providers and to support local non-profit groups – from food banks, to children’s hospitals, to schools and little league teams. Our franchisees are an integral part of their neighborhoods, and that won’t change.

• Next, Dunkin’ began 70 years ago in Quincy, and while we are now a global brand located in 40 countries, we’re as Boston as the Red Sox. And with more than 2,200 restaurants in New England, we will continue to have a heavy presence here where it all began. We’re wicked proud of that.

• Finally, our commitment to providing great coffee, beverages and baked goods, served fast and friendly, and at a good value will not waver. We plan to keep New England and America Running on Dunkin’.

Over the past several years, our franchisees, employees and suppliers have worked together to transform Dunkin’ into an ever more modern and relevant brand. I am particularly proud of our actions since March of this year. Throughout COVID-19, we have stood tall. We have had each other’s backs, and our franchises have kept their restaurants open, their crews employed, and their customers served as safely as possible. As a result, we are stronger than ever.

At the close of the transaction, our journey will continue as part of a global multi-brand restaurant group. Inspire is a long-term investor, and we believe it will continue to build on our efforts to supercharge growth for our franchisees and support our guests and communities, while keeping the elements that make our brands so special and beloved by millions worldwide.

As we navigate our path forward, we’re focused on finishing the year strong and will keep you informed on updates as we are able.

Thank you for all you do to serve the [Commonwealth] and for your dedication to making our communities and our country better places for all of us.

Sincerely,

Dave Hoffmann

Dunkin’ Brands CEO
