Corporate suicide if you ask me. Didn't they watch what happened to IHOP?

The IHOP thing was just a planned one day ad campaign. It did it’s job.

So dumb. Brand suicide seems to be all the rage nowadays.
To: Reno89519
Lazy millennial marketing, probably.
If the name is accepted, they’re clever and hip.
If the name is rejected, they can claim ‘We heard you’ and restore it.
In either case they will demand free PR from the media - and probably get it.

Why???
Are they wanting to deemphasize donuts? Do they think some people think they only have donuts, and want you to know they have other things too?
For example, we all know Burger King has items other than burgers, international house of pancakes doesn’t just have pancakes, Pizza hut doesn’t just have pizza.
Strange move.

and all those years of that guy saying , Time to make the Donuts , shot

They do it so investors can short the company, then when the company announces they are going back to the full name, the investors will invest again-
