Too much Dunkin'?
Monday, October 27, 2008 at 5:53PM According to Wikipedia, there are 5,541 Dunkin’ Donuts in the United States. Approximately half of these are in Manchester.
Okay, so there are “only” 26 Dunkin’ Donuts in Manchester, but one could be forgiven for thinking that ours is a company town operated by and for the Dunkin’ behemoth – which is, seemingly, everywhere:
Not that I have anything against Dunkin’ Donuts. Their coffee might not be the most outstanding I’ve ever had, but it is reliably decent, and in my book that goes a long way. Still, for some reason I can’t quite put my finger on, I’m somewhat bothered every time I see a new Dunkin’ opening up here in the Queen City — something that seems to happen on a monthly basis, be it a free standing store or inside unrelated businesses like gas stations, hospitals (though I do love the irony) and the airport.
