Hah! I live in a town with probably about 15K people, although I have
never counted. Up the street from me is a Dunkin Donuts. Just a mile
from me is a large Shop Rite supermarket that has a Dunkin Donuts store
in it, plus the supermarket has its own bakery where it seems a fairly
wide selection of freshly made baked goods. Then around the corner from
the Dunkin Donuts up the street from me is another Dunkin Donuts. As
far as I know, they all bake donuts on the premises.
