    I was in madrid for the weekend and they had Dunkin' Donuts over there and their donuts are ace - I know there are no Dunkin' Donuts over here but is there anywhere I could get a nice glazed donut in Dublin City Centre???

    Not so much glazed, but the little kiosk on O'Connell Street sells the freshest donuts around. YUM

    Wish Dunkin would come over here, everytime I fly to NY, that is my first stop!!!!

    Anytime I go to England I always get a few Krispy Kreme - they are really nice too!

    I'd bring the franchise back to Ireland if I had the money right now. Aside from the fact they're awesome, the way they've changed their business model in the States into an on-the-go office/working persons stop is very astute indeed. Stick one in or around any of the transit hubs or somewhere like the IFSC in the City Centre and you'd do quite well for yourself I'd imagine.

    I have a list of about 10 worldwide franchises that would eat up market share here that are not yet here.

    Feel free to PM venture capitalists :P

    Probably too expensive to rent space in the city centre. Also, badly run and unclean with lots of rubbish on tables. Their doghnuts were the kind you could only eat one without feeling ill.
