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

Default 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.

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.

Default 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.

Donut king is so much better than DD. It's not even close. Great variety all day long.

Donut King may be great but not nearly as convenient to DD for many people who frequent Colony Plaza.

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?
I went to both of the Donut King locations a months ago - the selection and taste of the donuts was wonderful!

The one at 441 is just filthy. The last straw was when I got a bag of donut holes and the bag was full of 1/4" thin black bugs. Haven't been to any DD since then.

It's interesting that you mentioned the change of managers in DD because I remember when it was a clean place when I first moved here. I didn't realize they had manager change. That explains a lot.
I really like WAWA. It is VERY clean and the food is always fresh.
