Dunkin Donuts (Raleigh, Durham, Cary: how much, house, live)

[Dman999]

A friend of mine wanted me to check out availability of dunkin donuts locations in Holly Springs / Cary / Apex area. Any need of more in this area?

Also what type of good food can't you get in this area from up north? Thinking of starting a great restaurant or take out. Here are a few ideas, please let me know what is needed or wanted.

Roast Beef?
Bakery?
Ribs and chicken wings?
Great sub shop?
Steak tips?
Small neighborhhood pub?
DunkinDonuts?
Great convenience Store?
Take out Seafood?

ps I promise which ever you choose it will be best

Thanks!

Dunkin' Donuts is terrible. If you can't find one then count your blessings and drive to the nearest Krispy Kreme.

Tony,

Why do you say that?

You have no idea how much I'd like to see a Dunkin Donuts in Durham!!!!!!!

I can't BELIEVE there aren't any around here... not in South Durham, not near/on campus... crazy. If there was a DD on Hillsborough Street, I'd go there every single day for coffee.

Dunkin' Donuts in Durham!!! I'm begging you!

There have been a ton of posts about subs (grinders), pizza, DD, etc. Just do a search. And you can always go to the DD website for locations. I get the appeal of DD or Starbucks. DD uses so much sugar and cream it doesn't even taste like coffee. Starbucks is the opposite -- too bitter. Well, that is my take on it.

Apex is getting a Dunkin' Donuts on Rte 55 and there is an existing one at High House & 55 (I think) in Cary. Back in Virginia, I always liked their bagels more than the donuts (and my waistline felt the same).

Convenience stores? Haven't found any good ones - and am really wondering why the heck there aren't any 7-11's!?!

I totally agree! There are two people in this world, Dunkin' Donut people and Krispy Kreme people. And of course, the KK people are much smarter! mmmm good.

not trying to start a donut war, sorry.

Yes, KK for donuts. But what about coffee? Or should I just have sweet tea instead? What do people like at Dunkin Donuts? The coffee, the donuts??? Do tell! I like their ice coffee just because it's not watered down.

I'm not a fan of DD, but I have friends who would give up their first born child for more DDs in the Triangle!!! Okay, that may be an exageration, but only a slight one. There are some in Raleigh & I think one in Cary, but I don't think there's a single one on the western half of the Triangle.

As for convenience stores, I'd LOVE it if QuikTrip moved into this area. I never knew I could miss a gas station this much, but if you've lived around QTs you'd understand.
