1 franchisee has 100 stores to close? Wow
Some of the stores they are closing are in gas stations, like the Speedway stations (former Hess stations which had DD franchises in them.). DD are opening stores here...
Donuts are over priced, I can go to Walmart and get a better one for .58 cents. If I felt the need for one. Better yet I can bake my own muffins and freeze them to eat 1 at a time over time.
Those boxes can be tricky to assemble though.
Too much competition
I’ve never really understood Dunkin’ Donuts. It’s all cake donuts with sprinkles or so it’s seemed to me. Apparently their coffee is decent but I’m not a big coffee drinker. I drink coffee when I’m cold, to warm up. I grew up with Krispy Kreme, that’s what my expectation of a basic doughnut is based upon, and that’s what I get when I want one.
Who cares?
Their donuts have been dreadful for years.
The name should be changed.

This living-wage and minimum-wage ruse is a wonderful two-fer for the democrats:
1. they scoop up many voters who buy the line that they are for the little folks, the poor and downtrodden and want to help them by mandating an ever-increasing minimum wage, and
2. in actuality, when the jobs actually disappear due to these draconian minimum wage laws, the lower rungs of the ladder are sawn off, leaving these low skilled folks no option but government cheese. NOW the dems have their locked-in constituency, who will never vote in a way that would diminish their life-support handouts.
This plan is absolute GENIUS for the calculating, power-hungry, amoral democrats.
