Is Dunkin’ Donuts FINALLY coming to California? The chances are looking better and better every day.
The facts are this:
- Dunkin’ Donuts is advertising like crazy in Los Angeles. I see them advertising during major sporting events and popular national television shows. I’ve also seen their banner ads on a local food blog.
- All the talk in the comments below point to Dunkin Donuts coming to California soon. I hear this rumor, you hear that, eventually it has to add up to truth. Share your rumor with the LA Snark community below!
- Click on the photo to the upper right. Their Twitter account says that the are coming to California “relatively soon.” Dunkin’ Donuts wouldn’t lie to us via their Twitter account now would they? It has to be happening… finally.
To get this going even faster, why don’t you open a Dunkin’ Donuts in Los Angeles?
Hear me out now: We transplants from the East Coast have adapted to your environment very quietly and politely. We restrict the number of times we beep at you when you drive like a moron in the rain, we don’t make fun of your tweezed eyebrows until you leave the men’s room, and we pretend to have heard about that show you were an extra on.
Do us this one favor: Open a Dunkin’ Donuts in Los Angeles.
I know they were out here before, and for one reason or another it didn’t work out and they all closed, but let’s try it again. You want a sure thing? Put your Dunkin’ Donuts franchise within walking distance of Sonny McLean’s, the Boston bar in Santa Monica. Business will boom, trust me.
Just for the record, Sonny’s does serve Dunkin’ Donuts coffee, and you can buy the beans/grinds at Ralphs (and they’re more expensive than a lot of the other brands, which is unbelievable to us former East Coasters.)
Now listen, you may have doubts in your mind, I know that you have plans to lounge on the beach or travel around the world after you made your cool million designing that web application widget new dimension of online commerce thing, but hear me out a little longer, this is the best part:
Running a Dunkin’ Donuts is easy.
Trust me, I spent 20 years going to Dunkin’ Donuts every day, I know what it takes. Get 5 15 year old girls, they can be of any level of intelligence, somehow I think having braces is almost a requirement, teach them the names of the donuts (or just make sure they can read when they turn and look at them), and then don’t worry about whether or not they’ll make a good barista. Tell them to add a mound of sugar and a half cup of cream to every “regular” coffee and they’ll be good to go.
For God’s sake people, China is getting 100 Dunkin’ Donuts’, CAN WE PLEASE GET JUST ONE?
I’ll do some legwork for you to get you started. Start here.
From the site:

THAT COULD BE US!
I’m not like you, I didn’t re-invent the wheel and my last name isn’t iPhone, I just know what I, and many, many, other consumers like. We like poorly mixed coffee with deadly amounts of sugar. Why won’t you give us what we need?
Bring Dunkin’ Donuts to California!!!!
