Opening this weekend, it is the first of its kind in Florida. It should work its magic as a stopover on the way to/from, say, Disney World.

There's a drive-through only Dunkin in Syracuse that will be relocated due to I-81.

What's weird is that they're mainly just a coffee shop.  They never have donuts.

Are you referring to Dunkin Go or all Dunkins? The Dunkins here have donuts and bagels, although sometimes they run low on bagels near the end of the day.

Not a single Dunkin Donuts in the City of Fresno.  The closest one I'm aware of is in Hanford for some reason.  That just seems odd to me that they have a location in a city with about 60,000 people but not the city with over 500,000 people.

I am referring to the drive-through only Dunkin' Donuts in Syracuse, NY.

And Dunkin Donuts retired from Canada, they can't handle competition from Tim Horton's.

Thing is here, who would they be competing against?  Krispy Kreme is the only chain donut shop I'm aware of in Fresno.  I get it they are trying to position themselves to be more Starbucks like, but this would be an easy market to get into.  I guess Dutch Brothers is a potential issue with caffeinated drinks, maybe?

They left Washington State in 2002; also none in Oregon, Idaho, or Montana. Too many local chains in the PNW, I guess.

There's a Duncan Donuts in Chicago. It's on the same corner as a Walgreen's and a Chase Bank.
Indiana: counties 100%, highways 100%
Illinois: counties 100%, highways 61%
Michigan: counties 100%, highways 56%
Wisconsin: counties 86%, highways 23%

Now we're due for another location, this one in North Jacksonville. Should be convenient for airport travelers.

It still seems weird that there are parts of the country that don't have Dunkin Donuts.
