Dunkin to close 800 locations

They just can't compete with Krispy Kreme and Winchell's.

Dunkin' Donuts coffee is decent. Not great but certainly not bad or nasty. Especially for the price. If it's you're only good alternative for coffee in a hurry, it's fine.

Starbucks makes crappy coffee and you're paying a premium for it. No true coffee lover goes to Starbucks. Most of their customers want sugary flavored coffees.

No true coffee lover goes to Dumpin' either. I'd rather drink shitty Extended Stay motel coffee than that dreck.

I agree that Dunkin is not the intended destination of coffee lovers. But it will do for $1.59 small coffee.

Well, their donuts are crap.

Shit donuts shit coffee disgusting iced tea. Close em up and go to Krispy Kreme.

Krispy Kreme is the superior donut. Sorry.

Oh well, its not like the fats haven't got a thousand other places to load-up on sugar and carbs.

R8 is a shut in.

OP I'm sure all the people losing their jobs will appreciate your comment.

I’m OP. I got it from the news, fuck-face. I’m sure they all know it and know how nasty the coffee is there!

Their donuts were crap in recent years, but I agree with R2 regarding the coffee. Also it's a lot easier where I live to find a DD with outlets to do some work, whereas most of the Starbucks took theirs out. Fuck Starbucks.

I will miss their coffee rolls (not the weak coffee). Oh well, one less temptation👍

Dunkin Donuts it's NOT worth the trip

where will all of those indians go to work ?

I worked at Dunkin as a teenager in 1972, they made all of their donuts fresh. They were the best back then.

My mouth and ass are worth the trip, r14.

Oh my, r14.

Yes, OP we all know it's the employees who pick the beans and harvest them.

And I'll be they're frequently glazed, too.

R21, you’re cute and witty!

This is a true story. So when all the rioting was happening here, the Dunkin near me on Lexington Avenue had its window smashed in. We felt just terrible, and vowed to give them our business, which we had never done before. I went in and stood for five minutes, not exaggerating, while the man behind the counter stood talking on his cell phone. We made eye contact several times, and I pointed at the menu sign overhead to indicate that I wanted to order. He finally hung up and then they didn’t even have the cold brew I waited for. $4.72 and seven minutes later, I left, drinking some nasty watery coffee. They didn’t have half and half, either.

My partner had a similar experience, where he and another customer were ignored while the counter person filled “online orders” in the back.

Fuck that place.

R23, did you utter, “Well I never in all my life!” as you flounced out the door?

DD is mainly an east coast thing, right? I live in Nevada and I don't think I've seen them out here.

Surprised at all the hate. New Englanders seem to love DD. There are so many of them you can sometimes see nearby DD from the parking lot of one of their stores. I guess there are a lot of redundant locations out there.

Oh, no! Where will I go to get warm brown water now?

Every Masshole knows Honey Dew is infinitely better.

In my area, there are about 20 Dunkin Donut stores within five miles. And as many Starbucks. But there's just one Krispy Kreme within 35 miles of me.

Wawa rules in the Mid-Atlantic states!

r25 There have been Dunkins in Vegas for years. They only started to come into California in the past few years.

Thanks R31, I'm up in Reno and haven't noticed any here.

Two locations in Reno:

Inside Walmart on W. 7th st., and 435 Sparks Blvd. in Sparks.

R33 Probably why I hadn't seen them, I try to avoid Walmart whenever possible and I only go to Sparks for the occasional trip to Lowe's

This may well have an impact on my Corona Quarantine Weight Gain.

Just 800? Don't they have like a billion locations?

Krispy Kreme Wins

R26, I’m from CT and used to work in one as a summer job in HS, 35 years ago. It’s no good anymore. The donuts don’t taste the same, and neither does the coffee.

And I’m sorry to say, the ones near me in the city are staffed by rude Asian men. I’d rather give my $5 to Starbucks. The baristas are nice at least when they take your money.
