Dunkin Donuts’ slogan is “America Runs on Dunkins.” That saying could not be any truer in the case of DMR. Having a 70+ hour a week day job, a 3-4 hour daily commute, this website and a 11-year-old is a pretty big haul. Thankfully, I have my trusted Dunks app and a restaurant literally on every corner near my office in Boston. I shudder to think about how much I spend at Dunkin Donuts annually.

Please note that some of these numbers are easier to find than others. A few of these Dunkin Donuts statistics come from their own reports, but some are based on news reports and not official company tallies. No information contained on DMR should be relied upon to make investment decisions. Basically, this is the best I can find and I don’t guarantee anything to be 100%.
