Rumor has it Zach Weigert is going to be buying and opening a few franchises in KC. Â He then said he plans to "explode" them throughout Nebraska.

Is there any indication which city would have them first?

Dunkin had left Omaha prior to my moving here in 1987. Â My hometown of Albuquerque had many of them. Â They were good...

Wasn't there a Dunkin' Donuts on 84th between Center and the interstate?

That was a Winchell's. Â In the early 90's I was a manager at the McDonald's south of there.

When I was a kid there was a Dunkin' Donuts on roughly 51st and L. The building is still there, but it's now a Subway I believe.

Ah yes, mea culpa.

I'm not sure if the local Omaha/Lincoln areas have room for more donut stores, but can say that in the New England States, there are Dunkin' Donut stores all over the place and they all always seem to be packed. Â Â We have Winchell's on 120th as well as several Krispy Kreme locations, a few Donut Professor lcoations, a place called the Donut Haven in Millard and Lamar's Donuts off of 172nd and Harrison. Â We also have Pettit's --one of my personal favorites...My point: We have a lot of Donut shops and either Dunkin' can either take the lead or enter a over-saturated market and barely survive.

I think Dunkin' is more competition to Starbucks and Scooters than it is to Donut Professor or Donut Haven type places.

Plus their donuts are better than Haven or Professor. And they're open past noon. Â :roll: Â I do like Winchell's. Haven't tried Lamar's or Pettit's. I will confirm that in Boston you could throw a rock and hit a DD. Salem alone has 3 and it's not that big of a town. I want Munchkins!!!

charlie123 · Post by **charlie123** » Thu May 05, 2011 5:33 pm

That would definetly be the key to success...if they are competing on a "cofee basis". I know that some of those donut places i mentioned likely don't have a popular coffee....whereas, Dunkin Donuts has their own brand you can buy at local stores. So i can see where they could come in after Starbucks, Crane and Scooters.

bbinks · Post by **bbinks** » Fri May 06, 2011 12:26 pm

There were plenty DD in Albuquerque where I grew up, and that was long before they had a good line of coffee. Â The last time I was at Donut Haven is when it was Dandy Do-nuts and they were very good.

NovakOmaha · Post by **NovakOmaha** » Sun May 08, 2011 6:59 am

Near us there is a cobranded Dunkin/Baskin Robbins. Â The donuts are ok, really nothing special. Â Baskin is pretty good. Â I'd still rather have Krispy Kreme & Ted & Wallys.

I love their coffee. Â They also have great cake donuts.

I just heard on Good morning America that DD outsells all other coffee places, including Starbucks.....I think they should put one in Bellevue, Ne, right outside "Offutt AFB".

Its not about the donuts, its about all the drinks they have....I want a COOLATTA!!

There was a DD in Benson where Harkert's is located now.

Seth · Post by **Seth** » Sat Jul 30, 2011 11:04 am

The news stories I've read discussing their IPO mentioned ambitious expansion plans, so I wouldn't be surprised to see more locations opening up in the near future. Â Hey, we even had one in campustown at University of Illinois!

Lamar's and Donut Haven blow the living |expletive| out of the "doughnuts" you get from DD.

Is Donut Haven the same as its predecessor, Dandy Do-Nuts? Â The Lamar's I used to go to was on 129th & Maple. Â It was only open for about a year. Â Lamars and Dandy were very good.

Yes, it is the old Dandy Donuts. Â I have not had Lamar's since college, but it was the second best doughnut in Lincoln (the first being some locally owned joint on West O).

We shall have to agree to disagree then, my friend.

Dunkin’ Donuts Heading West

Inquisitr wrote:The company is hoping to open doors in the West from early 2013. Specifically, it’s aiming to introduce stores in Denver and Colorado Springs, Houston and Waco, Lincoln and Omaha, Oklahoma City and Tulsa, and Santa Fe and Albuquerque.

After living in Chicago for a little while now, I don't think Dunkin Donuts are any better than any other doughnut shop doughnuts. I'd have to say my favorite doughnuts come from Casey's.

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 11:25 am

I love dunkin donuts and wish they would bring one to Omaha =( (and not because of their donuts) They give you more bang for your buck at DD than they do at Scooters, Starbucks etc... heres hoping someone opens one soon. <Sigh>

Dunkin' Donuts to double U.S. locations

http://money.cnn.com/2012/01/04/news/co ... ?hpt=hp_t3

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- America is about to run on twice as much Dunkin'.
Dunkin' Donuts plans to double its locations in the United States over the next 20 years, the company announced Wednesday.

The coffee and doughnut chain currently operates nearly 7,000 stores nationwide. Each new store adds an average of 20 to 25 new employees, both full and part-time a Dunkin spokeswoman said.
Dunkin' Donuts controls roughly 23% of the coffee and snack-shop market, according to Los Angeles-based industry research firm IBISWorld.
Its biggest competitor, Starbucks (SBUX, Fortune 500) controls about 32.6% market share and operated about 11,000 stores in the U.S. as of the end of 2010.
The announcement came as Dunkin' also said it has finished streamlining its supply chain, consolidating four existing regional suppliers under one entity, National DCP. The company said the move will cut costs.

I'll claim this one.

I heard it over Easter last year from my uncle and didn't know if it was my place to spill it or not. Â I took the safe route and went "guest."

I was told that it's a requirement of the franchise that when you open up a Dunkin' Donuts store, you are also required to include a Baskin Robbin's store (combined w/the Dunkin' Donuts store) for every few Dunkin' Donuts Stores opened. Not sure if it's at all true or not, but thought I would throw it out there. On the east coast, most of the stores are combined like how we see Pizza Hut combined with Taco bells, etc or KFCs. I know a lot of people want Baskin Robbins here as well, so we'll see if we get them.

When did we lose the Baskin Robbins at 78th and Pacific anyway? (hah... probably a decade or more ago, huh?)

What will we call such hybrid stores: Baskin Donuts or Dunkin' Robbins?
