Dunkin’ Donuts

I like this location on my way to work. I seldom order doughnuts here, but enjoy their healthy breakfast and lunch choices. Their flatbreads and wraps are great. Also, I’m not a coffee drinking, but love their iced tea. Service has always been good, but is a bit better in the morning than it is later in the day. Also is much busier in the morning.

«It’s time to make the donuts» was their famous slogan for many years.
I think their current slogan is «America runs from Dunkin’»?
It’s my understanding that most of their donuts are now machine made offsite, shipped to the store, then decorated. As a result the quality of the donuts have gone way down. They are dry and often out of stock. I can’t count the number of times I’ve gone thru the drive-​thru in the evening hours and was told that they were sold out of all donuts until their shipment arrives tomorrow. What? I don’t want donuts that taste like they are imported from China. I want delicious donuts that taste like they were made that morning on-​site. Even the donuts size is smaller than locally owned shops. The company’s cost cutting measures have destroyed their donut business. For shame DD, for shame.
Dear Dunkin’,
You keep focusing on new initiative drink products and I’ll keep getting my round cake with a hole in the center fix at quality shops like Beckers, Donut Scene, and Donut Land. But change your name! If the focus isn’t donuts its not fair to use such trickery. Would ‘Wannabe Starbucks’ be a name infringement?
Toodles!
