Reading your post reminded me of the post on FB this week regarding one of the Subway shops back home that the landlords lawyer posted an eviction notice on their door with the amount they owed in back rent (something like $10K) along with a get out of our space verbiage, etc. Nice black eye for a Subway franchise airing out the dirty laundry via the door posting.

Donut Queen, often out of donuts, don’t deserve being called King.

As I said nothing on the sign, just sounds I heard inside….

So? Theyre closed. Who cares why? Sounds like a trivial thing to be stressed out over.

They are closed for three weeks to remodel. Scooples is opening at 7 a.m. for the next three weeks while they are closed. Sign was terrible for sure. Those of us who are regulars knew well in advance of the closure.

Still very much is a great company. If we as a community judge a company's relevance by one person's "look at me" post then there would be no great companies, especially in TV.

I LOVE this site. Snarky and rude comments abound mixed in with helpful advice and comments (thanx VT), interesting stories, much appreciated news (thanx GWN), etc. This and my morning coffee makes my day.

Have you tasted their donuts lately? Nowhere near what they used to be. Hi

Yesterday at 10:30 am this was on their front door. Heard sounds like scraping inside so assume they are remodeling.

One would think that they would have a sign such as, “we’re remodeling our store to make our loyal customers even happier. Please wait until xxxx when we will reopen!!!”.

Failing to communicate with your customers is bad marketing. I hate it when I call a business and the person who answers the phone doesn't tell me their name. It seems to happen a lot lately.

Exponentially better

WaWa is much better
 
I go to a WaWa all the time. Much better pre-brewed coffee and many other drinks they can prepare. Their pastries are good and they have good pricing on everything.

MUCH BETTER!!! No comparison.

I stopped going to Dunkin after having two back to back bad experiences at the Warm Springs location and dealing with "management" that was less than helpful. Better coffee, better service and definitely better donuts to be found in other places nearby.
