Default Dunkin - bad marketing…

Went to Dunkin Donuts Brownwood after LabCorp bloodletting -fasting. When I do that I go to DD for coffee&donut.

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!!!”.

yes that's my occasional go-to, but DD BW is close to Labcorp.

What's nice about calling their " Bad Marketing" into question ? A simple "they are closed for renovation " would do ....

I never was a big fan of Dunkin. Always thought their coffee and donuts were overpriced and over rated just like Starbucks. McDonalds coffee is cheaper and far better IMHO. You have other options other than donuts too. But to each his own..

Please… It is bad marketing. The sign NOT indicating WHY they are closed. If they did value their customers they would have explained this to us. IMO, leaves us wondering “why”. BTW while I was there for 2 minute’s wondering, three other potential customers stopped and asked WHY? So my post WAS nice. Heads-up to those on TOTV. I am assuming they are closed for renov. As I said nothing on the sign, just sounds I heard inside….

The title of your thread indicates your motive. We get it. BTW - I believe that you can edit it.

True but it seems like Dunkin has made bad decisions after bad decisions. Sad.

Than again Sears used to be a great company look at it now.
