That bakery was a Dunkin Donuts before it was that bakery. It didn't work out.

i had heard that rumour. But im sure if there was a dunkin donuts on wards it would work out a whole lot better, when was that dunkin donuts there? Cuz isnt Liberty like twice as big as it was just 6 or 7 years ago? im sure that now it would work, especially with all the kids from new england at LU now.

Agreed that was just a bad location and its been gone for quite a few years. It's not just the donuts that are popular anymore either....i can't tell you have many relatives i have from the North that swear by DD coffee.

that is the one thing i missed about Maine when the family moved back down to Florida my junior year of high school...Dunkin Donuts...they had one in my town for a bit right in front of my high school, then it closed down...I guess there is a new one in town again, but its been a long, long time since i've been to wonderful titusville....

Lynchburg is an oddity in the donut world. We've gone through Dunkin' Donuts and Krispy Kreme.

Dunkin' Donuts would do extremely well NOW...when they were last here they were simply a donut shop. They've changed their entire marketing plan and are now considered first and foremost a coffee shop that also serves donuts. We have Liberty students from the North East that will drive an hour and half to the nearest DD for their iced coffee.

I've never had anything from Dunkin Donuts.

The closest one from my house is 30 minutes away.

The closest Krispy Kreme is 15-20...and it's headquarters.

Sounds like an addiction.

Hour and a half's worth of Gas.... $20

Dunkin Doughnuts stuff... $5

Saving $24 and 3 hours of your time by going to Sheetz instead... Priceless.

One of the best things on the face of this planet is when the Hot and Fresh light is on at Krispy Kreme. Holy crap.

I miss home in the summertime now.

the thing is, krispy kreme, yes they have good donuts, but you cant eat them every day. Dunkin donuts you could literally eat for every meal and not feel like a disgusting slob. Plus, almost every dunkin donuts is now a dunkin donuts, a baskin robbins, and a Togo's deli, which i guess has turned into dunkin deli?
