Dunkin Center in the article

I don't see anything about the Dunkin Center in the article, making a suggestion to add this in. Here's the Dunkin Center homepage [1]. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.222.33.89 (talk) 16:37, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Eponymous donut

There's no mention of the actual "dunkin" donut. I've no idea where I'd find a reference for it. This is a slightly smaller than normal plain donut with a tab on one side for holding it while you dunk it in your coffee. I just checked their website, and didn't find it there, either. Sent them a note asking what's up. - Denimadept (talk) 22:54, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Dunkin's Dunkin Doughnut was killed when they went to a commissary system. The automated extruding machines employed by the company to form its donuts could not handle the handle. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 08:05, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Update needed

The company has agreed to start using palm oil obtained from sustainable sources to help combat the destruction of native forest ecosystems. It's a major shift in corporate policy and the article needs to be updated to reflect this turn of events. Viriditas (talk) 06:57, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

"History" section doesn't have any actual history.

It looks like the "history"section has been written by a corporate PR flack to promote the current incarnation of the chain. There is no mention of the actual corporate history besides an inauthentic photo of the "original" store. Which is not the original store. No mention of corporate bankruptcy. No mention of the move to Canada and only passing reference to the move back. No mention of the e-coli scandal or the issues they had with slave labor growing their coffee beans. This section should be completely re-written to reflect actual facts and history.

Proposal for additional edits to the Dunkin Donuts page

Hello,

I am one of three students who have decided to augment the Dunkin Donuts wikipedia page, as a part of a class Wikipedia project. One of our members is majoring in Information Science and the other two are majoring in Communication. We would like to outline exactly what we plan to do.

Onlinecommedits (talk) 00:54, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

We would like to make the following edits:

BrendanSanok - History - Stock Market History/ Advertising

OnlinecommeditsOnlinecommedits (talk) 00:54, 28 September 2013 (UTC) - Nutritional Value - Franchise expansion into the west coast

Zk43 - Syntax/Uploading

You do not need permission to edit, so feel free to make the changes that you wish! Just remember to properly cite any additions you make. Here are some of the most common citation templates that you can use:
Thanks for the hard work and hope you get an A! --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 07:46, 28 September 2013 (UTC)


Feedback from Prof. Leshed:
Looks like you have some interesting content that you can add to the article to improve it. Here are some comments to make your project more successful:
  • First, fix the link on the talk page of the course page so that it links to Dunkin' Donuts and not to the original Cinnabon article you were planning to improve. Otherwise the instructor, TAs, and online ambassadors will not be able to find your edits. I accidentally stumbled upon a message you put on another editor's talk page to find this one.
  • When reaching out to other editors, engage them in meaningful discussions - ask them specific questions about edits you are planning to make. A general question "how was your experience" is more social and is not likely to generate a specific and meaningful response that will help you with editing the contents of the article. Also ensure to discuss changes on this talk page.
  • Sources: you do not list any initial sources that you are planning to start with. It is very important to have many different sources. They should not link to the Dunkin' Donuts website because this would be promotional.
  • At least one of you should be comfortable with the wiki markup language and become familiar with the Wikipedia guidelines and standards. I think this is supposed to be Zk43, but it should show in your edits. For example, sign all your posts on talk pages with four tildes ~~~~ to avoid unsigned posts (here, on Jeremy's talk page, etc.). When posting the name of a user, this should be link to that user's page. Instead of 'Zk43' this should be something like 'Zena'.
Happy editing! LeshedInstructor (talk) 15:07, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
Just a quick expansion of the use of sources Prof. Leshed was mentioning. There are several types of sources Wikipedia use, covered in this article. Our goal is to utilize quality secondary sources, that is sources such as news reports and articles, scholarly journals, books, etc. Primary sources are things such as press releases, company web sites, etc; these sources can be used in a limited fashion to verify basic facts such as profit and loss statements to verify income, press releases for things such as verification of dates of product introductions, etc. Tertiary sources are things such as other encyclopedias.
There is also the the issue of social media such as blogs, Facebook posts, and Tweets. Each of these fall into three categories, personal, professional and corporate.
  • Personal social media posts are generally not acceptable because of issues of bias and other problematic areas such as a lack of editorial oversight. You could use Rachel Ray's or John Goodman's personal blogs in a limited fashion because they have both have been spokespeople for DD, but not your some random post from Joe Public stating they don't like DD.
  • Professional blogs are from sources such as those individuals who have a deeper knowledge of a subject and may be providing an analysis of the subject. Those that are published in reliable sources such as the Wall Street Journal or industry sources such as Nation's Restaurant News are best due to the good editorial overview found in those publications. Examples of this would be an advertising executive's breakdown of a recent advertising campaign or a well known chef's take on a new product (as long as it is not a paid promotion). You can reference these types of posts as valid secondary sources as long as the person's bona fides can be verified.
  • Corporate posts are postings from the subject, in this case DD, and are primary sources. Use them as you would any primary source to simply as verify factual information.
use the {{cite web}}, {{cite newsgroup}} template for social media. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 17:49, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
Feedback from Joey:
Nice proposal! It's great that you've already garnered support from other users. They will definitely improve the quality for your edits and enhance your overall experience of Wikipedia contributing. Even though you've switched from Cinnabon, it still might be helpful to look at successful articles for companies that fall into this Cinnabon/Dunkin' Donuts franchise classification. In other words, topics on those pages might be worth investigating in relation to Dunkin' Donuts. Additionally, editors of those articles might be interested in assisting with this page's improvements. All of these suggestions are potential methods of interacting with Wikipedia's network of users. Also, if you planned on uploading images or videos to your page, this article should be fairly instructive: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Uploading_images. Feel free to contact my talk page if you have any specific questions! Joey236 (talk) 20:26, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

On editing

Hello all from Cornell, just a quick note on how and what to add to an article. There are two Good articles in a similar vein that you might want to take a look at, Burger King and KFC. These two articles are considered to be some of the better fast food articles on Wikipedia (I brought the BK article to GA status, another editor, Farrtj, brought the KFC article to GA status, both are nearly ready for Featured article status). These two articles have been expanded so much that they have spawned several child articles (History of Burger King, History of KFC are two examples).

So here is what I recommend to you:

  1. Use the following structure as a guideline:
  2. Good sources for the article

I am going to be unavailable until Thursday as I have a paper due Wednesday, so I will only respond lightly. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 05:58, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

Thank you so much, this is invaluable for the students working on the article. Good luck with your paper. LeshedInstructor (talk) 17:17, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

Franchise ambiguity

The noun "franchise" is being used in different senses by some editors -- either (1) to mean an individual restaurant, or (2) to mean the company or chain as a whole. As this will be confusing for many readers, especially for those reading English as a second language, let's avoid using this ambiguous term, and use the plain language terms -- restaurant, company, chain. Ground Zero | t 21:21, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

Quality Issues

Why no mention of changes that affect quality? I can think of 2 such changes that occurred not that long ago. One of these changes greatly improved the quality of its coffee, by requiring stores to dump a pot of coffee that had been on the warming plate for more than 20 minutes. Prior to that, if you bought a cup of coffee when the store wasn't busy, it tasted burnt and rancid. (Gourmet coffee shops use a thermos instead of a warming plate, because it's the warming plate that destroys the taste of the coffee.) The other change was for the worse -- depending on your perspective. Most franchises no longer bake their own donuts. They're baked at a central location and trucked to the different stores. This means the donuts are rarely fresh, which is great if you're trying to stick to a diet. Bostoner (talk) 00:50, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi, I'm a college student who has a Wikipedia editing assignment and I have chosen to edit the Dunkin' Donuts page. I'd like to make additions under the following categories: Shareholders, Executives and Financials, Partnerships, and Expansion into Vietnam.

Shareholders

Dunkin’ Donuts is a public company that is traded on NASDAQ, with a ticker symbol of DNKN. Currently, Dunkin’ Donuts has three types of equity owners – institutions, funds, and insiders. Institutions own $5,347.48 million, funds own $3434.05 million and insiders own $22.09 million. The top five institution based equity owners include Fidelity Management and Research Company with 15.42% of shares, Jennison Associates LLC with 11.99% of shares, Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc. with 8.42% of shares, Vanguard Group Inc. with 5.74% of shares and Waddell & Reed Investment Management Co with 3.46% of shares. These numbers are representative of the portfolio as of December 31, 2013. There is a total of 372 owners. [1] [2]

Executives and Financials

The following are key executives in the Dunkin’ Brands Group: Nigel Travis, Srinivas Kumar, Richard Emmett, Karen Raskopf, and Daniel Sheehan. Nigel Travis is the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and Division officer. He is sixty three years of age and makes a salary of $861,000. Srinivas Kumar is the President and a Division Officer at the age of fifty. Richard Emmett is a Senior Vice President, Secretary and General Counsel at age fifty seven. His salary is $400,000. Karen Raskopf a Senior Vice President and Chief Communications Officer at the age of fifty eight. [3] [4] As of September 28, 2013, the income statement discloses that the company was generating revenues of $692 million and incurring a net income of $139 million. The balance sheet expresses that assets totaled $3,150 million and liabilities were $2,769 million. The statement of cash flows outlines that cash from operating activities was $162 million, cash from investing activities -$22 million and cash from financing activities was -$96 million.[5] [6]

Partnerships

In 2007, Dunkin’ Donuts and The J.M. Smucker Company created a partnership. The Smucker Company has licensing agreements with Dunkin Donuts to sell their packaged coffee in grocery stores and other retail locations. This past year, Smuckers began to sell packaged Dunkin’ Donuts coffee with bakery infused flavors. Such flavors included: Blueberry Muffin, Caramel Coffee Cake, Chocolate Glazed Donut, Jelly Donut and Old Fashioned Donut. This line of bakery flavored coffee is called, “Dunkin’ Donuts Bakery Series,” which is now available in stores.[7] On January 21, 2014, Dunkin’ Donuts released to the public that they have entered into a licensing agreement with WhiteWave Foods. WhiteWave Foods is going to produce, manufacture and distribute Dunkin’ Donuts Coffee Creamers that will be available for purchase in grocery stores. They can be found in the dairy section of grocery stores. There are four types of creamers: Unsweetened, Original, Fat-Free and Extra Extra. [8]

Expansion into Vietnam

Dunkin’ Donuts continues to expand internationally, even into Vietnam. An agreement has been signed with Vietnam Food and Beverage Co. that will implement Dunkin’s plan to go global in Vietnam, by setting up one of the first chains in Ho Chi Minh City. The chains in Vietnam will have sell the same donuts, bakery items, coffees and drinks just like any other, with the addition of certain Vietnamese foods. Baskin-Robbins – the ice cream brand for Dunkin’ – entered the Vietnamese marketplace in 2012 and now has 13 store locations. A few weeks prior to the announcement of Dunkin’s entrance into Vietnam, was Starbucks'[9] move to plant their stores there as well.

Nicknames

Hi all. I just thought it would be neat to include nicknames. Some I can think of include: Dunkin’, Dunks, D-and-D, Dunkies, DD. Possibly the nicknames could be added to the infobox, what do you think? --Jd.101 (talk) 14:49, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

Sandbox?

Why is there a Talk:Dunkin' Donuts/Sandbox? I've never seen an article to have a sandbox. I thought only User pages had sandboxes. Liz Read! Talk! 00:31, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

Articles are allowed to have sandboxes, they just need to be in the talk namespace. People often use them when developing major article revisions so they do not disrupt the main article. I created that last year and for the class that was working on the article so they could work on it and I moved it to the wrong namespace for some foolish reason. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 04:22, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

As an old guy from Colorado, I can remember that back in the late 50's my chintzy Pop would buy old doughnuts from the grocer. There were "day-old" donuts marked on a plain box, and then there were boxes marked "dunkin" for the really old leftover donuts that needed to be rehydrated by "dunkin" in your coffee. I was surprised when I moved East and saw signs for old donuts. I believe the term dunkin was a derogatory term waay back when. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:300A:D09:F500:B5B9:96E7:681F:906C (talk) 20:08, 25 November 2016 (UTC)

2005 sale in History section needs correction

When they were bought out by the venture capital group in 2005, the price was $2.4 billion, as noted in the cited NYT article, not $24 billion, as the Wiki article currently states. I'd make the edit but the article is protected. Thanks. 74.111.24.128 (talk) 18:12, 25 December 2018 (UTC)

Please fix the first paragraph

The first paragraph needs to say that Dunkin' Donuts is (not was) the common name of the company. Georgia guy (talk) 16:47, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

I tend to agree. I've changed it to state "Dunkin' Donuts, also known as Dunkin', is...". The original, common name, is the first word used, follow by stating it's now also know by the alternative name. It could also be reversed by giving precedence to the new name: ""Dunkin', also known as Dunkin' Donuts, is..."". Feel free to tweak it if necessary.

Rebranding

MetricSupporter89 recently removed a phrase in the lead section about Dunkin' Donuts "currently rebranding" on the grounds that they have already rebranded. I reverted that change because I know the store rebranding is nowhere near complete. MetricSupporter89 left me a note on my talk page objecting to my revert.

But I think there is a misunderstanding here. The company has rebranded to Dunkin'. It is the stores that are "currently rebranding". I will make a slight modification to the opening sentence to clarify this. Meanwhile, any other opinions? --Alan W (talk) 19:56, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

I guess there are no other opinions at this time. I'll add—just anecdotal evidence, my own observations, and not being offered as any kind of reliable source—that where I live there are Dunkin' Donuts stores all over the place, and very few of them have (yet?) been rebranded as Dunkin'. --Alan W (talk) 06:03, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
Certainly in the UK, there is no rebranding; both the individual stores, and the website, still proudly feature the "Dunkin' Donuts" logo. (I'd imagine because the brand is less familiar as Greggs dominates the doughnut/pastry market here, so there's more of a need to make it clear to passers-by just what the store actually sells, especially given that "dunky" is BrEng for "condom".) ‑ Iridescent 17:13, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
Well, while the company is now officially called "Dunkin'", at no point will the name "Dunkin' Donuts" disappear from the Wikipedia article due to the common name guideline. Both names need to stay in the opening sentence, but eventually the "currently rebranding its stores as" will have to be replaced with something like, say.... "also known as", "previously named", "or", etc, between the former and current name.
As a worthy comparison, the hotel/restaurant chain Howard Johnson's just recently changed their corporate name last year to "Howard Johnson by Wyndham". The opening sentence for that article reads "Howard Johnson's, or Howard Johnson by Wyndham, is..." (that keeps the common name still used, and the new official name). I tried editing the opening of this article to read the same way but it got reverted. I'm OK with it the way it reads now, but again, keep it mind at some point in the not too distant future it will need to be changed. Personally, I still refer to them as Dunkin' Donuts and will for a very long time.--Apple2gs (talk) 06:24, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

Name change

Should the title of this article be changed to just "Dunkin'"? There is a story going around that the name of the franchise has been rebranded simply as Dunkin' (without the Donuts). [3][4] Natg 19 (talk) 01:15, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

Ah, nevermind, this change is set to take place on January 1, 2019. Natg 19 (talk) 01:16, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

Locations

Hello! I'm back with a request to update the number of locations:

  1. In the "Locations" section, please change "As of December 28, 2013, there were 10,858 Dunkin' Donuts retail locations, including 7,677 in the United States and 3,181 in other countries" to "As of December 29, 2018, there were 12,871 Dunkin' retail locations, including 9,419 in the United States and 3,452 in other countries[10]", per the company's SEC filing from December 2018 (page 1).
  2. Please update the number of locations in the infobox as well.
  3. In the "United States" section, please change "As of February 9, 2017, all of Dunkin' Donuts locations are franchisee owned and operated" to "As of December 29, 2018, all of Dunkin' locations are franchisee owned and operated[11]", per the same document (page 24).

  Clarification requested  

  • The proposal states that there are 12,871 retail locations. However, the nomenclature used by the source labels these as points of distribution (POD). According to the source, "approximately 85% of these points of distribution are traditional restaurants consisting of end-cap, in-line and stand-alone restaurants, many with drive-thrus, and gas and convenience locations." Thus, the way the proposal is worded, it does not clarify the difference between traditional "retail locations" (which readers might believe to be a traditional store) and the other 15% that does not fit that description. Please clarify this distinction of retail locations for the benefit of the reader, or choose some other label to describe the company's POD.
  • As the second part of the request uses the same figures as above with the same problem of definition, labeling 100% of them as simply "Dunkin' locations" is not made entirely clear for the reader, since 15% of them are not like the others.

Regards,  Spintendo  19:00, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

User:Spintendo, I am fine with using "points of distribution" if that's your preference. Thank you! EC at Dunkin' Brands (talk) 23:35, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
I've omitted the claim from the article, as the article already does a well-enough explanation of the company's POD in the Expansion section. That section is already too detailed, as offering information on every store opening along with the impression given by the wording of the company as "growing" and "expanding" to the four corners of the Earth in just about every other sentence pushes the WP:PROMO envelope a bit much. Green tickY The figure in the infobox has been updated as points of distribution. Regards,  Spintendo  00:33, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

Hello! My name is Emily and I'm the Senior Public Relations Coordinator for Dunkin' Brands (the parent company of Dunkin' Donuts, now known as simply Dunkin'). As stated on my profile, I've made this account to work with Wikipedia's editors to update the Dunkin' Brands, Dunkin' Donuts, and Baskin-Robbins articles. I'll rely on volunteers to review proposed changes instead of editing the articles myself, and I invite editors to contact me directly with questions.

I'd like to start with what I believe is a noncontroversial request to fix a few obvious errors:

  1. In the "History" section, please change "Hoffman" to "Hoffmann", per the source already used as a citation.
  2. In the "Marketing" section, please change "They Might Be Giants songs have been featured in an ongoing series of advertisements of new products to boost summer sales." to "They Might Be Giants songs were featured in a series of advertisements of new products to boost summer sales.[1]" The claim is currently unsourced and outdated, as the ad series is no longer ongoing.
  3. In the same section, please change "Rachael Ray has starred in commercials for Dunkin' Donuts since 2007." to "Rachael Ray starred in commercials for Dunkin' Donuts beginning in 2007". This statement is very outdated; Rachel Ray is not currently working with Dunkin'.

I won't make these fixes myself because of my conflict of interest. I'm hoping someone watching this page will review and update the article for me. Thanks for your consideration. EC at Dunkin' Brands (talk) 19:47, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

  Edit request partially implemented  

  1. Green tickY The spelling of Hoffmann was corrected.
  2. Red XN The change regarding TMBG could not be implemented because the termination date of the ad campaign has not been included with the request.
  3. Red XN The change regarding Ms. Ray could not be made for the same reason as #2 above.

Grammatical errors in "International" section

Hello! I am back with another request to fix some grammatical errors in the "International" section. My goal here is simply to improve the article for readers, and I understand editors may or may not agree with my suggestions. I'm proposing the following (fairly minor) changes for editor review:

  1. "on Copenhagen Central Station" should be changed to "in Copenhagen Central Station"
  2. "calls for developing" should be changed to "called for delevoping"
  3. "last franchisees in the country" should be changed to "last franchises in the country"

Also, there's one appearance of "DD", which I think should be changed to "Dunkin' Donuts" to avoid potential confusion.

Same as before, I won't make these fixes myself because of my conflict of interest. Thanks! 12.170.52.134 (talk) 20:30, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

@Whoisjohngalt: Thanks for helping with the "Errors" section above. Would you be willing to make these improvements as well? Thanks! EC at Dunkin' Brands (talk) 23:13, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

Fixing errors

Hello! My name is Caroline and I work for Dunkin' Brands, the parent company of Dunkin' Donuts (now simply Dunkin'). I'm taking over for User:EC at Dunkin' Brands as the company's Wikipedia representative. I've reviewed how requests are submitted here and I look forward to working with the community to make improvements.

I've identified a few errors to fix:

  1. In the "Marketing" section, please change "The Saucony X Dunkin' Kinvara 9 comes in a donut box and the heel of the shoe is covered in rainbow sprinkles" to "The Saucony X Dunkin' Kinvara 9 came in a donut box and the heel of the shoe was covered in rainbow sprinkles". This was in 2018, so past tense is correct.
  1. In the same section, please change "if it is successful" to "it it was successful" and add the follow-up "The brand announced that it would officially be known simply as Dunkin' in September 2018.[1]", per this source and many others. This updates the text to confirm the name change was implemented.

Error and "Expansion" section

Hello! I am back with another request to fix an error and suggest possible trims to the "Expansion" section per recent updates and WP:FUTURE/WP:PROMO.

In the "United States" section, there is an error in this sentence:

  • "On January 16, 2013, Nigel Travis, Dunkin' Donuts' CEO, announced that the Dunkin' Donuts franchises would be available in California beginning in 2015."

Also, User:Spintendo recently removed some content from the United States section, saying in the edit summary: "Claims representing the WP:FUTURE as well as WP:PROMO 'the company is expanding'-type claims and those which were unreferenced have been omitted from the Expansion section".

Could similar trims be made to the "Expansion" section? More specifically, I think these claims should be considered for removal:

  • "Dunkin' Donuts plans to expand its number of American locations to 15,000 by 2020."
  • "The company announced plans to open 100 stores in Taiwan over the next ten years."
  • "Dunkin' Donuts planned to open ten additional stores in New Delhi, India, by March 31, 2013, and expects to open 80–100 stores nationwide by 2017."

As usual, I won't make these fixes myself because of my conflict of interest. Thanks! EC at Dunkin' Brands (talk) 18:11, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

More errors, affiliations update

@Whoisjohngalt: Nice to meet you, and thanks for your help above! I've identified a couple more errors to fix:

  1. In the "Expansion" section, please change "at Kanpur, India" to "in Kanpur, India"
  2. In the "United States" section, please remove "In 2016, Dunkin' Donuts shops opened in the San Francisco Bay Area in Walnut Creek and Half Moon Bay" because these locations (SFBA, Walnut Creek, Half Moon Bay) are mentioned again in the next sentence. This change will reduce redundancy.

Also, I propose the following addition to the "Affiliations" section:

  • In 2016, Dunkin' became the official "coffee, donut and breakfast sandwich partner" of the National Hockey League.[1]

Requests

@Whoisjohngalt: Thanks again for your help! This article is looking a lot better. I've identified a few other other improvements for consideration:

  • In the "History" section, there's the sentence "In 2004, the company's headquarters were relocated to Canton." I know "Canton" is already linked to the Wikipedia article for Canton, Massachusetts in the introduction, but since this is the first time "Canton" appears in the article body, I think linking to the Canton, Massachusetts article would be helpful to readers here as well, especially since there are other cities called Canton in the United States.
  • I propose adding the sentence, "The company's 'DD Green Achievement' program seeks to make Dunkin' locations more energy efficient and sustainable.[1][2]"

References

The restaurant was built as part of the Dunkin' Donuts DD Green Achievement program, which helps franchise owners construct sustainable, energy-efficient restaurants… Among those features are energy-efficient LED light fixtures and mechanical units, reduced-flow plumbing, air quality management, in-floor radiant heating and paints without volatile organic compounds.

  • Finally, I think the introduction can be updated. Right now the page says, "With nearly 12,000 locations in 36 countries, Dunkin' is one of the largest coffee and baked goods chains in the world.[1][2] Its products include donuts, bagels, other baked goods, and a variety of hot and iced beverages.[3]"
    I propose updating these two sentences with the following: "With approximately 12,900 locations in 42 countries, Dunkin' is one of the largest coffee and baked goods chains in the world.[4][5] Its products include donuts, bagels, other baked goods, and a variety of hot, iced and frozen beverages.[3][6]"
    This change updates the number of locations and countries, and adds mention of the company's frozen products.

Recent history

@Whoisjohngalt: Thanks again for helping above! I am glad to see mention of the new concept locations and CEO transition in 2018, but I've identified a few other updates for the article, all of which are confirmed by multiple reliable sources. Please see the following claims for consideration:

  • In February 2018, Dunkin' announced plans to phase out polystyrene foam cups globally for environmental purposes by April 2020.[1][2][3]
  • In late 2018, Dunkin' installed espresso machines at all possible locations and launched espresso products using a new recipe.[4][5]
  • In June 2019, Dunkin' partnered with Grubhub to begin the rollout of its new Dunkin' Delivers service.[6][7]
  • In July 2019, Dunkin' partnered with Beyond Meat to introduce a meatless breakfast sandwich in Manhattan, becoming the first U.S. restaurant brand to serve Beyond Sausage.[8] The sandwich launched nationally later in 2019.[9][10]

Dunkin' Donuts → Dunkin' – Per WP:NAMECHANGES and WP:COMMONNAME. A brief search on Google News yields the following examples of reliable independent third party sources that use Dunkin' as the name of the company:

In addition, both the company's website and the parent company's website list Dunkin' as the name of the company:

The company is traded on the stock market as Dunkin' Brands Group Inc.

Also, there is precedent on Wikipedia for companies that have rebranded to be moved to their new name, especially if the new name is used in reliable independent third party sources.

  • Support. I'm not a fan of this form of "link dump" nomination, since all it shows is that there are, in this case, 15 RS articles that use the proposed name, but tells us nothing about what overall proportion of RS use that name. But based on browsing Google News results for this year, I'm satisfied that a clear majority of RS coverage uses the new name (though the old one has certainly not disappeared - even in some of the sources cited in the nom, e.g. WaPo, Newsweek). Colin M (talk) 23:43, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Comment: The issue in last year's discussion for me, that I wrote above, was that "the company has been slow to adopt the shortened Dunkin' brand name across a majority of its over 12,900 locations in 42 countries. In many countries [where the company operates], the longer Dunkin' Donuts brand remains the common name". So far the OP has only cited reliable sources from the U.S. What is currently happening in most of those other countries? Like Germany. I would like to see some of that recent evidence from other countries besides the U.S. before I change my vote. Zzyzx11 (talk) 04:00, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Oppose - Still stand by my previous opinion. Known as "Dunkin' Donuts" for 70 years, versus (less than) 3 years under the shortened name; the original name is still embedded in the minds of the general public (myself included). I do not see how the span of 11 months since the last vote drastically changes things, WP:COMMONNAME still applies. --Apple2gs (talk) 06:10, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
    In other words, the common name is Dunkin' Donuts for 72 years and Dunkin' for 0 years, not 69 and 3 respectively. Georgia guy (talk) 11:41, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
    Honestly, the number of years that have passed under the new name is irrelevant, as long as there's a generation of people who still remember and maintain a familiarity with the original name and use it. Good example, see the Howard Johnson's article. For 97 years the restaurant/hotel company was known as "Howard Johnson's", and about 15+ years ago officially changed its name to "Howard Johnson by Wyndham". Yet the article title is STILL using the common name of "Howard Johnson's", even with the restaurants gone where the name originated from, almost no one in the public refers to it as Howard Johnson by Wyndham...and we're a decade and a half in. Eventually that'll change, when a whole new generation grows up and only knows of the hotel chain with the Wyndham name or without the plural 'S, but we go by what the general public still uses. I still call their hotels Howard Johnson's, and I still call Dunkin'...Dunkin' Donuts.--Apple2gs (talk) 00:24, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
    In your example, the number of years "Howard Johnson's" was the official name was 97 and the number of years for "Howard Johnson's by Wyndham" is 15, but if we change "official name" to "common name", then they're 112 and 0. Georgia guy (talk) 00:50, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
    The key here is COMMON NAME supersedes official name, it's not necessarily what the legal name is, but what the average person (the majority really) calls said thing. As another example, also 15 years ago, "Apple Computer" officially renamed itself "Apple". For some time I still called them Apple Computer out of habit and what I was familiar with, but these days, unlike Howard Johnson's, most people, myself included, just call them Apple. I suppose it's because it was only 30 years as Apple Computer and 15 years as Apple (versus 72 and 3 with Dunkin' Donuts, or 92 and 15 with HJ's) but also because they had expanded to more than just computers by that point. Back in the 80's and 90's, all Apple did was computers, but by 2007 they were making all kinds of gadgets and appliances. In the case of Apple, the article was renamed because the consensus is that is now their common name.--Apple2gs (talk) 03:24, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

  • Support. Per WP:NAMECHANGES, "If the reliable sources written after the change is announced routinely use the new name, Wikipedia should follow suit and change relevant titles to match." We do not title our articles based on how long a name has been in use compared to a former name, nor do we consider "the public consciousness" (and if we did, the article would be at Dunks, not Dunkin' Donuts).

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 14:42, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

Two updates

- I think a section called "founding years" should entail max. the first 20% of a company's history, but here it's more than 50%

- The 2012 map in the section "locations" need updating, for example DD is now present in Switzerland 178.238.175.188 (talk) 14:46, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

The History section should be re-sectioned. In addition to the problem you noted, calling post-2004 "Success years in management" seems like an unnecessary insult to Bob, who grew the company from 100 locations to 6500. That's a 65x increase, as opposed to the 2x increase of the "success years". GA-RT-22 (talk) 20:10, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
