What happened to the planned dunkin donut at Colony?
 

Building is now an Aspen Dental. What happened?

Dunkin was sharing the same building, may have changed their mind considering the retail status

Your lucky they didn't open. If that store ended up being like the one on 441 which is rudderless. Employees don't wear their masks properly. The place is a PigPen. The order is rarely correct. Just terrible.

I am a Coffee Fiend. DunkinDonuts has been my spot for as long as I can remember. This store broke me of the DD habit. Count yourself lucky that they changed their mind and didn't open.

Hmmm. Drove by yesterday and glanced over toward the building; DD sign is on the front and workers were working on it.

Yes, noticed that as well.

Never was a huge DD fan. We had Krispy Kreme where we were from.

I agree with you DD in Florida are poorly run 441, 466 and Brownwood, minimal staffing and run out of donuts sometimes by 9am.

Also very limited choices of donuts

Krispie Kreme would have been wonderful there.

I LOVE the ones filled with Bavarian Creme and topped with powdered sugar. Is that DD or KK?

For great donuts, forget about DD and KK. Go to Donut King. Their original store is on US 27 in Mineola, a few miles North of US 50. However, about 8 months ago they opened a store on US 27 about 500 feet North of FL 44 in Leesburg. They are open from 5 AM to 9 PM - the Mineola store is open 24/7/365. Want proof of how good they are? Did you ever see anyone leaving Dunkin Donuts or Krispy Kreme carrying boxes of 6 to 8 dozen donuts?

Dunkin

Just drove past. It is still there.

Yes. All the time.

Never cared for Krispy Kreme. Way too sweet for me.

Seems more like a CN.

By the way, the status of this commercial building, and many others in TV, is reported daily in the Construction Update in the Daily Sun.

All the DD stores are franchises so it depends on who owns them. As with all stores of these types they will cut back on the availability of stuff because there just aren't enough people supporting them. We will see more closings unless we start supporting the local business's.

It's like going to a Florist for a Dozen Roses and early in the day Duh We Don't Got None! :1rotfl::1rotfl:

We support local restaurants when we like what they have to offer and feel safe going there.

Had an interesting experience there about a year ago. Stated coughing and then got serious, won't go into details. Managed to get to counter asked for a cup of water.... meanwhile, things got more serious. Several people stepped up to help, told clerk (an older lady) to get water ASAP... clerk said, that is $.25 first please. My purse was in the booth, two men dug into their pockets and only had bills, literally threw her $1 bill and said FAST, quick, this lady is really in distress. She picked up the bill, waited for the other clerk to ring up an order..... meanwhile a younger man ran out the door and came in with a bottle of water from his car. By this time I was not able to stand, another patron ran to counter and said "quick, hand me a paper cup", she asked for the $ .25, he quickly put it in her hand and she slowly walked to the other end to get him the cup. Didn't go back for 6-7 months. The staff is not very customer friendly, but I finally went back. Got a coffee and a muffin. No coughing problem this time, but as I was drinking my coffee I was watching the ceiling across the room above where they hand people the drinks. There were two HUGE roaches just walking across the ceiling. I know it is silly, most restaurants do have roaches, but when you see them walking across the ceiling in the bright day light... well, I tossed the muffin in the garbage and left. Never said a word to them, the roaches were right over the HEADS of the two women working there, of course they had to know they were there ! Haven't been back, never will go back. I have been in the one in Brownwood, nothing visibly dirty, but you never really know what goes on in a kitchen. Had two sons who worked in restaurant kitchens in high school and college. You definitely do not want to know the details of restaurant kitchens, and the county inspections where they worked were more frequent and far more stringent than Florida's and you still would not want to know the details :ohdear:

Florida’s healthiest home town, pass on the donuts.

It’s there! It’s doesn’t look like it’s going to be very big. The Dental office is on the other side of the building.

Donut King is where we go!!

Go to WaWa..... great coffee and always clean!!

Dunkin is going to open in Colony just as planned.

It’s still there, just taking awhile. See updates in newspaper.

Sometimes at Donut king you can taste the grease.. They don’t change it enough. I love their sweet buns

That will be a downer for Aspen...great combination...tooth decay at Dunkin, fillings next door at Aspen!

Agreed......they have dropped the ball on cleaning, services and professional behavior. Maybe if the owners
Paid them a salary worth working for things would change!!!!! Come on owners, think....

Patience.....they are sharing the building and Aspen Dental is just quicker with their build out and signage.

Just because one store isnt up to standards shouldnt reflect on all DD. Would you stop shopping at all Publix because one store wasnt as clean as others? NO. You would avoid that ONE store

I couldn’t have said it better!!

In Boston if someone stops to ask directions we say turn right at next DD then left at next DD then left at next DD , well you get the picture we have a lot of DD

DD not the answer
 

Just go to Starbucks, the coffee is better, the services and cleanliness is outstanding and the food is healthier. And yes, I will pay a little more for those things.

So right. If you ever go into a Dunkin Donut after 9:00 pm, don't expect to find any donuts or any coffee. Really? That has happened to me on at least 3 occasions all in different locations. Maybe we can get a Krispy Kreme in TV.

It’s still being approved!!

Me as well. I've even going to Wawa. This DD franchisee does not care and it shows. Ever since that sweet manager died about 5 years ago the place has gone downhill.

Dunkin Donuts
 

Can't figure out why they can build a whole block of houses in one week and it has taken 7-8 months to build a Dunkin Donuts!

I do find this combo quite comical. Not happy there is a Dunkin' so close to my Publix. It's going to be a battle for me to stay clear of that place.
