Taking 'Donuts' out of their name already paying off for Dunkin'

Freed from the constraints of "donuts," the chain can now offer all sorts of things - like bags of ice. Robert Orthman spotted the sign offering ice this evening outside the still Dunkin' Donuts on Washington Street (the one near Roslindale Square, not the other one).

But they weren't selling ice before they announced the change to just Dunkin'.

Sure they were

I've purchased ice at plenty of DD's. Not all, but those close to the beach, or on the Cape. I assume it's up to each individual franchise owner.

Exactly

My son worked for one dunks that sold ice, another that didn't (but would tell you to go to the other one). 2015 through 2017. It is a great idea actually - you can get coffee and get the ice for the cooler all on the drive through.
