Re: I wish the Villages had a ........
We have a 'Timmies' next to me in RI and it gets swamped by Dunkin Donuts.
I think the 'Timmies' thing might be akin to the Krispy Kreme hysteria that engulfed us 5 years ago. Everyone in the northeast jumped at the chance to buy Krispy Kreme franchises and they thought they would be printing money.
What happened you ask? Well EVERY one of them in Maine, New Hampshire, MA, RI and Vermont went out of business within 5 years. All of them done in by the devotion to Dunkin Donuts. Is Dunkin Donuts that good? Is Krispy Kreme that bad? NO but it goes to show that regional donut and coffee tastes are strong. In Canada and some northern states it's Tim Hortons. In NE and mid-atlantic it is Dunkin. In the northwest it is Starbucks. In the south it is Krispy Kreme.
Florida seems to have them all so let the wars begin!
