I saw a story on Reuters today that was very near and dear to my heart. Apparently Dunkin' Donuts is revamping many of its stores and the new stores are going to be equipped with wireless Internet. It does not say whether they are free or not, but I'll be giving them a call and pushing them to go the route of free wireless Internet.
Dunkin' Donuts plans to model stores in its growing chain on a recently opened location in Euclid, Ohio, that has an all-day menu as well as WiFi capabilities for customers who want to bring along their laptops.
"We are paying attention to environments because we don't want to alienate those consumers who do want to come in to relax," Luther said at the Reuters Food Summit in Chicago. "Since we've gone into the espresso-based drink business ... more and more of our consumers come in in the afternoon to take that 10 minutes out of their day."
