Subject: It’s Time to Buy the Donuts

Written By: LyricBoy on 07/30/20 at 6:43 pm

Before your local Dunkin’ Donuts is closed down. The Donut purveyor has announced the permanent closure of 800 of their stores.  :\'(

It just got a lot harder to find good donuts, folks...  :-\\

And yet another company loses more jobs and locations. I feel sorry for everyone getting laid off or furloughed due to COVID.

I enjoyed their donuts and coffee, my favorite was The Boston Creme.

I hope they don't close ours down-which is only a few blocks from where I am sitting right now. I may be able to see it if I went up to our cupola.

I don't think they will close it down because they are only closing down the ones that are at Speedways.

Around me, there's several Dunkin' Donuts locations that are new - one of them is just getting ready to open!  The one on our corner (which is also a Baskin Robbins), only about three years old, it seems to have long lines in the drive thru all day; I hope they're doing OK  :-\\

The Dunkin Donuts near me seems to be doing pretty well so I hope they don't close.

The Dunkin' Donuts that used to be in my town closed back in the 90s.  We have Tim Hortons and currently there is over 20 of those in my town.  I won't have any trouble getting donuts lol

Donuts are a widely available item in stores, bakeries, restaurants and supermarkets everywhere. At no time has Dunkin Donuts had a monopoly on them.

I thought we had a dunkin but the nearest is 1.5 hours away. The nearest Krispy Kreme is 3.5 hours away. We have a local chain called Johans which most locals consider to be the best. They’ve been picking up a lot more locations in the last decade.

I don't know what everybody is so up in arms about. The only locations Dunkin Donuts s closing are those inside Speedway convenience stores and those inside Walmarts. Nobody goes to Walmarts because it has a Dunkin Donuts inside it.

Yes, they sell donuts but they don't really have that fresh bakery taste.

No, people in the bakery department make them then sell them for purchasing.

Yes, from what I gather Dunkin Donuts had kiosks in Walmart. Lots of convenience stores have such things too, unless it conflicts with their own in store brand which they sell.

I can remember waiting for a relative in the eating area in Walmart, but I do not recall what food and drink was on offer.

Just like there is a small Starbucks in one inside a Stop N Shop.
