Their headquarters is in Randolph, MA. They used to bake the goods fresh at
every location every so many hours. Now, much is done in a regional bakery
and delivered to the various shops in the area. We have a "factory" here
and I know they supply at least 15 other DD in the area. They used to be
better from what I recall, but after so many years, I can't say for sure.
The damned things are popping up like dandelions though. With no on site
baking they need very little space so they are in supermarkets, gas
stations, etc.
