Dunkin

[JL 0513]

Here in MA, there's a DD every 1/2 mile in many areas. Spots where there's 2 across the street from each other. Close to my house there's 3 within 400 feet from each other. And yet, in the morning, the lines are crazy at every one.

I miss Dunkin. I don't think they have em out west. Damn you TooTechie....now you got me thinking about all the places I miss from back home.

Ground Round, Friendly's, Papa Genos...

Sorry got derailed for a moment. No DD but 7 Subways, 2 McD's, and 4 Starbucks within 3 miles of each other and the same named convenience store across the street from each other

LOVE Friendly's. The closest one closed.

Most of the Ground Rounds closed when they filed bankruptcy about 10 years ago. When they were bought out they only re-opened half of the locations.

Some of the Papa Gino's closed too after they bought D'angelos for some reason, but they are still around.

Other chains that used to be around: Burger Chef, Bickfords (might still be somewhere--great breakfast)

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

We still have a Ground Round.

Papa Gino's sucks.

DD is available in K-cups.


Resident know-it-all.

I personally agree about Papa Gino's pizza. If I was going to go to a chain I'd pick Pizza hut over them, but I personally prefer greek pizza (rest of my family likes the thinner New York style).

I agree they do suck but at the time, they were the cheapest pizza joint around and for $5 for a pie, you couldn't beat em to ease those late night hunger pangs.

Oh that's right, forgot about the Bickford's breakfast. They knew how to serve portions for cheap. Abdow's Big Boys were great too!

Little Caesar's pizza is the cheap chain now. They do a $5.55 large pizza. About the same quality as Papa Ginos though.

Big comparison here is DD's coffee or Wawa (Starbucks sucks) I am a WaWa coffee guy

So yesterday I was sitting in a Dunkin Donuts on break and I was thinking that having 3 Dunkins on my one route seems like a bunch, but that someone probably has more...

How many Dunkin Donuts do you have on your route? Or Starbucks if that's more applicable...

My route has one street light smells like some times and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Never heard such criticism over Papa Ginos. They have one of the better pizzas. Better than Pizza Hut or Domino's. It's the most authentic Italian style pizza from the chains.

Papa Gino's outnumber Pizza Huts 5-1 in my area. The world's largest pizza chain can't seem to compete around here. One just closed in fact.

There are DD out west. I always liked them better than Krispy Kreme.
Got a mcDs, Wendy's, Burger King, Taco Bell, Panda Express, 2 Chinese buffets, a Japanese restaurant, 2 subways, Dairy Queen, and a couple of Mexican restaurants on my route. Also about 5 gas stations. Oh and a Central American restaurant. That's all I can think of now haha. Where to take lunch is the hardest decision of the day.

I didn't say a lot. I wasn't just counting California. It's surprising that CA doesn't have as many as other states.

The last time my son and I went to Fenway we stopped at a Papa Gino's in one of the service areas on the Mass Pike. It is cheap but that is about all that can be said for it.

Chain pizza joints suck...Papa Johns, Pizza hut, Cici's, Domino's...nasty. I'd buy a frozen pizza before I'd eat at any of them again.
