Flashback: Krispy Kreme expanded into the Twin Cities in 2002, but fizzled quickly, closing all six local shops within a few years. Target also carried Krispy Kreme in the early 2000s. Seems like Dunkin' is doing fine, though. Maybe they are something you have to grow up with, like lutefisk.
Only if you serve it with stewed green peas and bacon.

I think it was Dylan Hollis that said " Lutefisk is not a dish, it's a crime".

Those things are more addictive than crack cocaine. And I love them.

We ended up passing 3 Dunkin' Donuts before finding the restaurant in question. |

Dunkin’ is blissfully present in multiple locations near here. I’m a grateful patron.

Gotta love small-town news websites:
Three people were safely rescued from an EMS rescue boat stuck at the top of Glen Loch damn in Chippewa Falls.

Dunkin’ is blissfully present in multiple locations near here. I’m a grateful patron. One time in Indonesia, I hired a guide to go visit Borobudur. After visiting borobudur, we headed back to Yogyakarta where we would lave lunch. Not knowing any good restaurants there, I told my guide, she would have to pick a place to eat. I told her she could pick any place she liked and it would be OK with me. After some hesitation, she said "any place?"and I said, yes. She got a big smile on her face and said "Dunkin Doughnuts". Yes there was one in Yogyakarta and that's where we had lunch. |

We're under an excessive heat warning as well as an air quality alert, due to excessive ozone. Otherwise thing are pretty nice outside.

The air quality up here has gone to hell, as well. More to do with the beans and potato salad I over-indulged with at lunch than ozone, but right now, given my druthers, I would prefer ozone.

I don't remember the address but I believe the Dunkin in your link is the one we went to. I know it was near the "tourist area". After we ate I gave the gal a $20.00 tip and told her she could go. I wanted to walk around the area, there was some big arts and craft thing going on, lots of paintings. |

Seems like Dunkin' is doing fine, though. I respect everyone's donut choices, but Krispy Kreme never did it for me. Maybe if I ate one from one of their actual stores when the hot donuts sign was on. Mine have been sold from a cabinet in a gas station. My absolute favorite donut fat pill is a glazed yeast from a legendary Indianapolis shop called Long's Donuts. There are also some chains around here that I like, Jack's, Pana's, and Dunkin. |
