i worked at dunkin 15 years as a baker and i gotta say the quality has gone way down...no more in store kitchens with 2 shifts making fresh stuff..its all centralized in huge production kitchens now with one shift and trucks delivering to stores with 50-75 miles....the guy that owned my store bought in the late 80s and he opened up 3 more and he even said that he was considering getting out because corporate was getting way to controlling and the overall company culture was changing for the worse...he was a nice guy when someone would call out sick and no coverage he would fill in and we would talk all night ..i learned alot.

It's so funny you open up a dunkin and they just sue each other

Dunkin Donuts is known for its coffe, as their donuts are previously frozen. Krispy Kreme is known for its freshly made donuts.

In Southern California, their product is inferior to the myriad amount of independent donut stores.

In central FL, DD has increased a lot. Most are small strip mall & limited tiny shops. Some combine with B&R ice cream. The breakfast menu was cut down a lot 6-8mo ago. 😂 I liked the maple coffee. The sweet ice tea is very good too. I rarely get donuts without a printed coupons.

Their donuts are terrible tasting. One time I was there, ate a couple of donuts, and the manager (I think) asked me how they were, I said they are ok not my favorite they dont taste fresh but stale. He got all riled up and went on a lecture and rant about how dunkins donuts are all baked not deep fried like krispy, and that is why they are better and all that. I still thought they tasted not fresh but stale after that lecture.

i worked as a baker there all thru my twenties....we used to make everything in store every 12 hours...basically anytime you come in your getting fresh....now they make it all in a huge production kitchen once a day and truck them out to all stores with 50-75 miles ....i wont set foot in one .ill go to the small family bakery.

I haven't had a donut from Dunkin Donuts in over 3 years. I have to say that the multigrain bagel they sell is delicious. I have tried bagels from New York Delis and the multigrain bagel that Dunkin sells is delicious. In terms of their coffee I would count it as average, I prefer ice coffee to hot coffee. Overally I think Dunkin is a good investment. The town I live in has three Dunkin Donuts and I think it is safe to say that the New England area is one of the best spots to open a Dunkin Donuts. I would consider investing in a Dunkin Franchise though I still need a lot more capital.

The financial industry has basically made every part of every business so horribly and tightly monitored, that no matter HOW good or popular your place is, or your franchise, you'll never get a PENNY more than you're supposed to, It's disgusting. The only people who make pennies above their costs is owners and shareholders, Thats what ALL business is based around. People who don't do anything. All the people in the chain who're making, designing, selling, exchanging, pushing, pulling.. doing ALL of the work that brings in all that money, they're making 5% profit, maybe 10% if they're very good. It's the people who do less work or no work, who make the real profits. Don't you ever find it funny, that you can have a VERY popular 24 hour McDonalds with a drive through, that is HOPPING busy all day and night every day of the year, never empty. The place is running like clockwork, you can have thousands of Customers per Day, and you can have 30 people working at all times. And even if the place takes in 50 million dollaors over the counter in 1 years? Your MAXIMUM earnings after tax will still only be around 400k. Yup, 400k, i'd stress to think of a single McDonalds franchise owner out there who is making more money than that from any store. Where does all of this profit go? "It's not profit, the other 45.6 million goes towards cost and upkeep and advertisment and food / supplies". Bull. McDonalds just so it's 2 billionth Big Mac recently, and i guarantee you the owner of that store has never made a cent over 400k. All of that money goes, into the kitty, for the REAL McDonalds to take from. You have share holders making 10's of millions per year. ALL of that 50 million you made, maybe 5 million goes back into the store and advertizing. teh other 30 million? Into Pockets.

I looked at Daylight Donuts which is a licence deal and not a franchises so you just use their name and products without those fees. You can do other stuff that benefit the owner like a full breakfast which a franchise won't allow.

Back to the investing gamble... I just wanted a hot bagel and some fresh coffee. Like everything I figured if you want something done right you gotta do it yourself!

Our location in the Southwest, barely did better than break even the first year, in a town of 50K. Nearby smaller cities seemed to do better, but are less trendy, fewer Starbucks. They relaunched as a Dunkin/Baskin hybrid, and seemed to double their business overnight, with a steady increase in drive-thru business. We're big fans of their iced coffee. I'm betting that some ice cream customers, are trying their coffee drinks for the first time.

Just checked. There's none near Vancouver, WA or Portland, OR.

Why do you switch between color and black and white?

Publix super markets bakery has a great donut. Better than Dunkin. 😉

What can you say about Ben and jerry the ice cream company? Is it a good investment? It would be great to hear from you about this.

There are too many DD stores in my area. I have a store about 5 mins from my house and There are four other stores less than a mile of my house. It's like every 10 to 15 mins you pass one. On the main road near me, there are three stores in less than a three-mile drive. Before you even think about opening one, take a drive or use google map to see how bad it is. Now my local store "less than 5 miles near me" no longer makes donuts in store and is closed from 12am to 5 am. they get donuts once a day at 5 am and when they are out, they don't get any more :/ We went two weeks ago to DD at 1130am and all they had was glazed donuts and some odd ones that cost about 60 cent more than a normal donut. they do have an ice cream area but really who goes to DD for ice cream? lol and DD is always hiring workers and managers, it has a huge turn over rate

Outside of the northeast, DD’s expansion plan will fail miserably. The food and coffee is terrible.

I don't know much about running a business, but just by pure observation, Dunkin Donuts is a nightmare business to operate. First, there's the high fees that owners MUST pay to the franchise corp before a franchisee even pay himself and staff. Secondly, the high rent cost because you MUST be in a well-trafficked location/area, otherwise you will close permanently in less than a year. Thirdly, the preparation time required to make the products you will sell that day hours before you even open the doors to customers means you're already money losing money on staff wages and I bet that the profit margins for the owners are very small. Obviously, there's more negatives and that these things apply to almost any type of franchise, but DD seems to be one of the worst investment to make. Not worth the stress.

Land(based on area or rent)+ about a 3000 sqft building ( $300,000) roughly or rent a building and remodel it, then about 50-75k in grills, fryers, ovens, coffee makers, microwaves, freezers etc, then about 20k to furnish it they have like 10 tables, the order counter, might have tvs as menus and one in lobby, some have couches inside. then you have to pay for the dunkin donuts name 40-90k and must have atleast 125k in capital so I would say 500k-600k but everything could be rented if you wanted too, but it's one more thing to pay out and worry about when sales are low. All this is based on research and cost of building.

I should note that this DD (part of a multi-store franchise operated by Asians) was in a good residential neighborhood. It did not bake its doughnuts on site, but at a central bakery several miles away. I have never gone back to that DD, and usually avoid Dunkin altogether.
