I agree that they’ve kept a “blue collar” feel, for the most part. Recently I’ve noticed that they’ve begun to update their look, but I think they’ve done a good job of maintaining that original aesthetic, while modernizing.

Especially with the coffee emphasis, they're definitely trying to paint themselves as the "anti-Starbucks". Company Man doesn't mention it, but Dunkin' currently is/has probably capturing customers that are disillusioned with Starbucks, either because of their prices or their very liberal political tendencies.

FUN FACT: In Japan they're all Mister Donut, not Dunkin'. I guess that one was already popular and established so after the acquisition they chose not to change the name into Dunkin' there. I'm glad, because their brand image is so much cuter and more wholesome with that friendly logo! They also have cute lil mascots and do all sorts of collaboration promotions, I love it.

In Taiwan, there was a donut war between Mister Donut and Dunkin', franchised by two competing local food/retail giants. Mister Donut and Dunkin' often opened next to each other. Dunkin' eventually left the market after losing sales to Mister Donut, which was praised for adapting to the local tastes and created recipes for doughnuts that are less sweet. I wonder why these two brands seemingly aren't owned by the same company in certain markets. Any tips, Company Man?

Used to be a Dunks employee myself. Here in my home town we have at least 6 (guess where I live lmao) and I worked at one where they actually still baked the donuts and everything else nightly. Not many stores do the baking anymore considering its very expensive to get the equipment, bakers, and the raw materials every week. I believe only 25 stores are left that still do it in the U.S. but I could be wrong. The espresso thing is spot on, they installed a brand new espresso machine and immediately focused on pushing espresso drinks (mostly lattes) over donuts. Also if you ever want some free donuts go to a Dunkin's about 30 minutes before they close. They usually toss the donuts (sad I know) and they have no issue giving away some. Varies by location but most I've been to around here don't want to toss them so they give them out. Excellent video my friend!

While I was in high school, I would go to Dunkin Donuts for coffee nearly every morning before class with my brother or some friends, and even before the name change, we always referred to the store as “Dunkin”-you’d never ask “wanna get some coffee from Dunkin Donuts?”, you’d ask “wanna get Dunkin?” instead. I completely agree about the quality of their drinks, they can be either the best coffee you’ve ever had or completely undrinkable, nevertheless I have many good memories of starting my day with friends and some iced coffee from our neighborhood Dunkin!

*It’s failing miserably in India because* 1. Majority of us don’t eat breakfast on the go. 2. Majority of us don’t eat donuts for breakfast, it’s more of a treat/dessert. 3. Every region has its own way of brewing coffee (for example, filter coffee in South India) and Dunkin’s coffee is struggling to compete with the local coffee. 4. Local coffee is 100 times cheaper (and better as per my taste buds) than Dunkin coffee. 5. Everything on Dunkin’s menu is expensive given the fact that it’s a fast food joint (McDonald’s & Domino’s are cheaper compared to Dunkin’s)

Dunkin’ Donuts is a random coffee/fast food type place everywhere except New England, where its market saturation is so extreme that it’s much more dense than even Subway, I come from a backwater exurb an hour from Boston and half an hour from Providence. There were no less than 5 Dunkins in town the last time I was there, in a town of 10-15000 people that all work somewhere else. Dunkins exist randomly in the middle of neighborhoods, in gas stations (which are also oftentimes in neighborhoods), along with the usual places along high traffic areas, where their concentration is still extremely high compared to any other businesses. In eastern Massachusetts I would bet there isn’t one spot more than a 15 minute drive from a Dunkin.

I remember driving through Nashua, NH and counting approximately 13 Dunkin Donuts stores. It was alarming. In my hometown in Northeast, Ohio we had two spring up in the past year. It's unpleasant to watch, sort of like seeing yet another Verizon store show up in a newly built strip mall.

I'm drinking a Dunkin Iced Coffee while watching this right now. I'm not sure if promotions are regional, but where I'm from it's 1.50 any sized coffee and tea from 2pm-6pm. Any given day I go, the drive thru line is long. That's a hard deal to pass up if you enjoy their coffee, which many people do. Given that, it's no surprise how they've been successful and their same stores sales growth has been positive for 10 years running.

If Timmie's stopped expanding their menu so much, I think they would do better and maybe be able to expand again. Their employees can't keep consistency up when they have to make like twenty different sandwiches and I dunno how many different drinks outside of coffee and simple tea. I haven't been to a Timmie's in quite a while since, every time I go, my drink (outside of bag tea or black coffee that I adjust myself) is ALWAYS different and not good: it's either too sweet, too strong, not enough flavour, incredibly watery, or too icy. It's also hit-or-miss with the quality of the donuts; sometimes they're perfect, but more often than not they are slightly old. This includes U.S. Timmie's, too. I love Timmie's, so I hope they take a page out of other restaurateurs' books and streamline the menu so their employees aren't overloaded and ONLY offer a handful of seasonal items that change every quarter.

I agree to the changing emphasis of Dunkin! I worked at an “old” store, which was the classic kind that most people are familiar with. They are slowly introducing a tap system into new stores which gives people in the lobby a direct view of how their coffee is being made. This kind of store is the one I work at currently, and in the one year gap I took from the company, there were so many changes that occurred, including dropping the name to just Dunkin’! I honestly can’t wait to watch how the company expands!

Mike, I wanted to inform you on their “fresh” donuts. They do not make donuts in house, they order them from a central manufacturing location. There, they are made late in the afternoon (5-6 pm) and shipped to the stores after their (the store’s) closing time, delivered anywhere between 10 pm - 4 am the next day. So, those same donuts made 12 hours earlier are on the shelves at 5 am and those same donuts, unless sold out, will stay on the shelves until they close, anywhere between 7-9 pm. They will only make donuts in house if major ones are sold out earlier in the day, such as glazed or frosted. So by the end of the day, they are selling 24 hr PLUS+ old donuts. No discounts or clearance. Selling you day old donuts for full price that have had gnats reproducing on them all day. I know this because I worked there for 4 years.

I was stunned by how many I saw in Boston, but down south, meh, not so much. Maybe they are a drive through only business? I remember going inside, it was weird, creepy and lonely. Starbucks on the other hand has a snooty, hipster vibe, filled with the creatively unemployed Marxists.

Being from Cali, I had not had any Dunkin Donuts until very recently. I was in Roswell New Mexico and they have a Dunkin Donuts Baskin Robbins shop. So I had to give it a try. I has very pleased. The coffee was great. I like regular straight up coffee. And the donuts were nice too, so it was a great experience. Much like going to a White Castle; far better than I expected it to be!!

The best donut I ever had came from a single grocery store in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Their secret wasn’t very secret, but it was filled with cherry pie filling and topped with cream cheese icing. That was perfection, but you had to be there as it was coming out because it was very popular. They rarely had extras. I have yet to find anyone else that does that specific. I have since moved to Las Vegas, Nevada... so far no luck... and I even tried to recommend it to a few Krispy Kreme’s and Dunkin’s. They look at me like it was a crazy idea... but they did ask for recommendations...

In the 70's, I lived next door to Bill Rosenburg (the inventor of DD) in a little town called East Kingston in New Hampshire . I only met Bill a few times, but I do remember him giving out donuts for Halloween! My uncle designed the first Dunkin' Munkin' box - it was an orange cardboard box printed to look like a wicker basket with a yellow haired girl on the front. As I recall, his DD business partner left and started Mr. Coffee, which was also pretty popular in Mass and NH in the later 70's, and since have gained massive popularity in the Asian markets. EDIT - I wrote all this before watching the whole video!! Props to the " Company Man" for doing exceptional homework for the video.

I have a few thoughts on this video: 1. Even when Dunkin Donuts was placing more emphasis on donuts, coffee wasn't entirely out of the equation either. The name reportedly originated with the idea of dunking the donuts into the coffee, which according to the company was popularized by one of their executive architects. 2. Though they've more recently been going for a more diverse consumer base, DD's working class roots are still apparent, especially in the fact that they've expanded their menu to the point where they've essentially become a poor man's Starbucks. 3. I find it interesting that DD touted having a donut for every week of the year early on, and then merged with Baskin Robbins, a chain that touted 31 flavors of ice cream, one for each day in a month (assuming it's a 31-day calendar month.) 4. Even with consumers becoming more health and weight conscious, I have a feeling that dropping "Donuts" from the name will come back to bite them, because a simple, naked "Dunkin" is such a generic name that you can't tell what they sell. Of course, you could say the same thing about other company names, but it still sounds lazy and unspecific to me. Radio Shack tried this same approach with "The Shack," and it was such a miserable failure they had to revert back to the old name.

The company started the campaign to the name change long before it happened. Its been, what, about five years or so they have been doing commercials with the tagline "America runs on Dunkin". But, I don't even say let's get Dunkin Donuts. I say let's get donuts and at least 80% of the time it will be Dunkin. The other 20% will be local donut shoos that make some high quality and unique tasting donuts.

Tim Germer America runs on Dunkin has been their tagline since at least 2008. Edit I originally put 2005 but I’ll say 2008 to be safe. Point is it’s been a long time. Still don’t like the official change though, as DD is another one of their nicknames.

To be fair, it's only really the northwestern quadrant of the contiguous U.S. that is completely devoid of them. The bigger markets in that area (Washington state, Oregon) are the stronghold of Starbucks while the smaller markets (Idaho, Montana and the Dakotas - Wyoming appears to have at least one in the southeast corner area where the state capital is) don't appear to currently have the demand base for Dunkin' to build out there yet. P.S. Alaska has at least one location and Hawaii seems to have a few as well, all on Oahu.
