Yeah, didn't work out so well (except in the south side). Dunken Donuts sells coffee-- with cream and sugar as the default. It's like competing apples and really fucking nice apples.</p> http://seattlest.com/2008/12/04/starbucks_everythings_cool_stay_cal.php#comment-1532168 http://seattlest.com/2008/12/04/starbucks_everythings_cool_stay_cal.php#comment-1532168 Comments Thu, 04 Dec 2008 10:35:41 -0800 <p>This is an interesting moment: is the megaSBUXcorp purely a product of the boom years? Or are they going to be able to maintain hold of their "daily luxury" appeal for aspirational businesspeople? When you switch to Dunkin, you've stopped aspiring quite so much and settled on comfort. </p> http://seattlest.com/2008/12/04/starbucks_everythings_cool_stay_cal.php#comment-1532121 http://seattlest.com/2008/12/04/starbucks_everythings_cool_stay_cal.php#comment-1532121 Comments Thu, 04 Dec 2008 10:00:50 -0800 <p>The real story is that half the marketing staff haven't even seen the Dunkin Donut commercials, and if you ask them who their competition is, they'll always answer 'McDonalds'.</p>
