re: Dunkin Donuts closed all BR stores

Which brings me to my next observation; DD locations used to make their own donuts. I vividly remember seeing the huge mixing machine my hometown DD had in the back. When these new DD locations sell their donuts they order them from somewhere else and delivered. Ruins the donut but probably helps to cut down on waste.

This is interesting to read.

We recently got a DD down in Da Parish. After I gave them a couple of weeks to get the kinks out and the crowd down, i went on a Saturday morning. I asked for three different kinds of donuts (that were listed on their board) and was told the were out of all of them. i asked what they had and they said glaze and strawberry. I asked them for two glaze and one strawberry. They were awful - tasted about three days old.

I went again a couple of weeks later, and same thing, they were out of several varities of donuts, only had a couple in stock, and again, they all tasted days old.

Plus, the service was a step below Popeyes Quality.

I thought it would be odd that they would be out of so many types of donuts since a donut shop makes their own donuts... but if they don't make them in-house, then I can see that being an issue.

Also, the franchisee of ours is the same one in BR that is mentioned in the article.
