Heh! My sister and brother in law live in Lexington, Ma. And she has remarked on occasion about the popularity of Dunkin Donuts. Generally, when I am visiting, I’ll make a pilgrimage to get an authentic Dunkin Donuts.
Dunkin Donuts has made inroads even here in the heathen South. There is one a couple of miles from my house.
The phenomenon of Krispy Kreme seems to have come and gone. Duck Donuts is still around. There are also a few outliers like Texas Donuts as well.
