Dunkin Donuts Talk

The LA Times has snubbed Dunkin Donuts because of symantecs. In a recent story about Peet’s Coffee, it lists the top 10 coffee houses in the US. Dunkin Donuts was not included in the list seemingly because they also sell donuts or the word donuts is in their official name. Dunkin Donuts sells more coffee than anything else and should be considered one of the top 10 coffee houses in the US according to the criteria established by the LA Times.

If you look at their list, all of the people on it would be considered competitors of Dunkin Donuts - especially Tim Horton’s, which is essentially the Dunkin Donuts of the far North.

I personally would like to see the LA Times put out an updated list which includes the nations Second Largest Coffee chain. The new list should read:

1. Starbucks - 8,000
2. Dunkin Donuts - 5500
3. Caribou Coffee - 322
4. Tim Horton’s - 292
5. Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf - 213
6. Coffee Beanery - 200
7. Seattle’s Best - 160
8. Peet’s Coffee - 112
9. Tully’s - 100
10. Dunn Bros. Coffee - 85
11. Port City Java - 55
