Thread: Dunkin Donuts

  1. #1

    Default Dunkin Donuts

    Not terribly exciting, but I noticed a sign on the front of the old KFC location at 33rd and Broadway. It looks like Edmond's getting a Dunkin Donuts. My son was happy. He got hooked on them while living in DC last winter. I'm not a huge fan, but that's okay. It's all about the choices!

    I have friends here in California that are absolutely obsessed with DD, no doubt because we don't have them out here. Every time they go back home, it's the first place they visit complete with Facebook posts/photos.

    I didn't even notice they weren't on the west coast!

    DD is God. That place is truly the one to worship!!!

    There have only been a few around but the three that are open (NW 36th & May, 39th & Meridian and Del City) have been open for many years. I'm sure there were some others that have closed bu tht only one that I know of was NW Expressway & 63rd, I think there was one in Edmond s well. They are all over Boston like Subway stores are everywhere else. There was an article in an Austin paper about how Dunkin was going into expansion mode a few years ago. They renovated the location across from my old office in Northwest Austin but don't really know if they opened any others.

    I really enjoy DD's coffee. It's smooth and mellow but does not have a bitter aftertaste!

    I know they renovated the NW 39th Street Store not to long ago. There used to be one on Classen and I think Del City had two at one time. I want to say there may have been one SW 59th back years ago.

    If they are opening in Edmond they may open in a few more locations around the city. Unless I am mistaken, I think they are mostly a franchise operation which is probably why there are only a few in OKC.

    Yes, most are franchises. Years ago I knew the daughter of the owner of the Del City location.

  8. Default Re: Dunkin Donuts

    I don't remember Del City having two... Just the only one there forever. I was around when Big Ed's was a nearby neighbor.

    If I remember right, it was located in the building where Jackson Hewitt is now on 29th and Vickie. I think it closed in the 90's.

    I remember us having them in Dallas back in the 60's. I don't know if they still have them or not. I know the one that was near my families home closed many, many years ago.

    We've tried them several times when on the east coast. I didn't really care for them as a kid, but I thought maybe it would be different these many years later. Nope. Tasted just like I remembered. Guess I'm just more of a Krispy Kreme kind of girl!

    I remember DD's doughnut holes. Variety of flavors. Pure Heaven! Loved the chocolate and powdered sugar ones.

    Growing up we rarely had doughnuts from Dunkin or Winchell's, Frankie's Big Doughnut at NW 19th & Portland was the place that we always went to.

    Is there a DD on the southside Okc?

    I ask because a few people that live on the southside are crazy about DD's.

    I'd forgotten about Winchell's. When I was in high school, we were all addicted to their cinnamon rolls!

    None in SW OKC, Moore or Norman.

    I'm glad to hear this, because as much as I like the local donut shops, it seems that they all close at like, noon...sometimes I like to buy a donut in the PM, ya know?

    Yeah, the one in Norman, on W Lindsey, went buh-bye a long time back. Truth be told, dinna miss it going way. Was never much of a DD fan myself.

    It all depends on where you are talking about when you say Southside. The one in Del City on 15th and Sunnylane in only 15 minutes away if they are on the northside of 240 25 if they are on the southside of 240.

    DD coffee is the best.

    Good news. Dunkin Donuts sadly, has the best and freshest donuts in OKC by far.

    I am excited.
    Their regular and iced coffees are excellent, and not as expensive as Starbucks.

    DD is such an interesting company to me..
    They are a company that was started on Donuts, but in most cities they generate more revenue on coffee.
    In fact, they have actually attempted to drop the "donuts" from their company name.

    They are literally on every city block in Boston, and I am glad to see them expanding here.

    Would love to see them back in Norman. They use to be over on Lindsey and was a very convenient stop going to and from campus.

    Doing a happy dance right now! I grew up in CT where Dunkin Donuts are in abundance, much like Sonic here. I love them! Now we don't have to drive to Del City to get our coffee and donut fix.

    Why would you drive to Del City when there are several closer to Edmond than that? NW 36th and May and NW 39th and Meridian come to mind.
