Ned-Ryerson Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) I and many other doughnut lovers have been requesting Dunkin Donuts on their Facebook and Twitter sites to open a doughnut store in Sheffield for sometime now. Anyway I have just found out that they (Dunkin) plan to skip Sheffield and open a store in Leeds. First Krispy Kreme open their store on the border between Leeds and Bradford and now Dunkin are to open in Leeds itself. I wonder why all these companies seem to overlook Sheffield in favour of other cities such as Leeds and Manchester?

Flexo Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 If you're so certain it'll be a moneyspinner then apply to run a franchise here - maybe no-one else has. http://www.dunkinfranchising.com/franchisee/en/internationalfranchisee.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure you must be disappointed but not everyone is so keen to jump on some American style trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkin Donuts decided not to come to Sheffield after Hendo's refused to let them use their sauce in a donut. Sheffield aren't adventurous enough to try anything new.

I could swear theres a Krispy Kreme in Meadowhall. What people fail to realise when complaining about the fact that these places don't open outlets in Sheffield, is that the companies themselves are not usually the ones who open the stores. They sell franchises (very expensive!) to people who are essentially running their own business but paying to use the brand name. Obviously nobody from Sheffield has decided to do so yet.

perplexed Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I had a Krispy Kreme doughnut once, just to see what the fuss was all about. Horrible, plastic tasting rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
