				 | Hey Larry. Did you see we're getting yet another DD in Rockland at Lukes Liquors Plaza? This brings the total to five DD in a town of @ 16,000. Plus several other's including mom & pops and Honey Dew. Plenty more in the surrounding towns as well.    Wouldn't one or two suffice in a town of this size? |

				 | watch the one in plymouth off exit 5 on the water side. when you give them the $$ they walk around the corner with your cash. most people drive away figuring it isn't worth the wait. if they stay the employee comes back and pretends she forgot their change. happenned to me twice stayed both times. usually if you give them $3 and the bill is 2 something. then I was sitting down inside with my dad and happenned a couple more times. never go back.  |

Then there's one on 28 just past the go-cart track. There's 5 right there.
 
I think we're only 14,000 people, give or take. |

				 | Malden near Revere1.5 mile radius from home I have five DnD.
 3 mile radius I have twelve.
 5 miles - probably 40+.
 
 I have heard that Brazil is a nice place to visit but you really wouldn't want to live there. Shorter life expectancy.
 
 The closest DD I used to go to they were all Romanian.

				 | Probably the one at the RR tracks because they can't put a drive-through window there. Probably the same owners and they're loosing business because of the lack of window service.    |

DD's master plan is if you have a store you must open another in a certain time frame or they will pull you franchise. |

				 | Most DD's in the same town are owned by the same owner.  Usually they open up close by to avoid the competition of another.  Also they will sometimes have a bakery in only one location.  |

				 Revenge of the counter cups 
 January 23, 2007No coffee but cash taken at Dunkin’ Donuts
 HYANNIS – A thief made off with a small amount of cash after breaking into a Dunkin’ Donuts yesterday evening, according to Barnstable Police Sgt. Sean Sweeney.
 
 
 The store, at 153 Corporation Street behind the Cape Cod Mall, lost less than $100 cash after someone apparently broke in through the back door about 8 p.m. and knew which button to push on the register, Sweeney said.
 
 Barnstable police K9 officer Troy Perry found that a safe was untouched. No arrests were made, Sweeney said.
 
 Four other Dunkin’ Donuts stores, including one in Cedarville in Plymouth, were burglarized on Sunday, one of the workers at the Hyannis store told police.
