How is Dunkin Donuts coming along?

Miscellaneous discussions. Things that don't have anything to do with Western, Leatherneck Athletics, college sports in general, etc.

I don't drink coffee, so that's the part I'm looking forward to. I love DQ (I have a family connection to the company), but once they close up for the winter (this is their last week open), I need an occasional ice cream fix.
Might have to try the donuts too, but I really like Casey's donuts and Hy-Vee has been making a big push with theirs recently too.

The Chicago Beef Factory will also be coming to town within the next couple months as well.

DD/BR Update time
All the siding is up and the outside of the building looks pretty much as it is supposed to, minus a bit of signage probably. They're working on pouring/setting the concrete around the building now and I'd imagine they'll get to work on the interior fairly soon.

That is great news. My favorite although they have cut back their menu a bit it seems. If I am within 20 miles of one, I go out of my way to get there. I dont know where they get their spuds, but they must using steroids to grow them. I get three meals out of one of them.
Embrace the pace of the race.

I heard that. Sounds like it's going in in front of the Hampton Inn over on the east side of town, across the road from BWW and Walmart. Any new business coming to town is a great thing.

Dunkin' Donuts and Baskin Robbins is set to open the week after Thanksgiving. According to the paper, it will be a 24/7 operation.

I think you will get more and more specialty shops downtown as time goes on. The new parking, surfacing, lights, and landscaping have dressed the square up. Yahoo for Dunkin Donuts!!! ;) jc
