So much so that even though we have only one store in the greater Fort Worth area, if asked to announce something, I do.
In Texas, Dunkin' Donuts does not have the presence that it does in the Northeast. But they have around 8,000 restaurants in 30 countries worldwide. Sales of over 5 billion. Not to shabby for a donuts and coffee company. Like McDonald's, they sell franchises.
Starbucks, on the other hand, has mostly company stores. I prefer Dunkin's coffee to Starbucks. And I like the direction in which the company is going. Starbucks continues to disappoint me. Dunkin' Donuts has slowly transformed a sit-on-a-stool-eating-donuts image to a fast food outlet with very good bagels, good coffee, donuts, and low calorie sandwiches that are good and inexpensive. I frequently get the flatbread egg and vegetable sandwich for about $2 and it is very tasty and around 200 calories. And the service is fast.
Some Dun
kin' Donuts franchisers are struggling, the weak economy has effected them, too. But I like company's aggressive disposition, right now. They are going after the weakened coffee giant with good coffee, lower prices, and better food.That's my opinion.
The current promotion: 50% off all coffee and iced tea-based beverages during Happy Hour weekdays from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Starts July 15.
Okay it's not the happy hour I frequented years ago, but at least you can't get arrested for a DWD. (Driving While Donuted. Sorry, terrible dad-quip. Unforgiveable, actually -- but it stays.)
