Dunkin' Donuts to Enter Some Wal-Mart Stores in Blow to Krispy Kreme

Thursday, May 13, 2004

CHICAGO — Dunkin' Donuts Thursday said it will open 10 shops inside Wal-Mart stores, helping the world's largest retailer broaden its branded fast-food offerings.

The retailer also houses some 950 hamburger McDonald's Corp. hamburger stands, and it recently entered a deal to offer 100 sandwich shops run by Blimpie International Inc.

In addition, Wal-Mart has about 1,700 of its own Radio Grill and Wal-Mart snack bars, said Sharon Weber, a company spokeswoman. Wal-Mart limits its restaurant offerings to one format per store, she said.

"We really are looking at different formats and different plans to offer our customers," Weber said, adding that it was too early to determine how many total Dunkin' Donuts were planned. "It is important for us that they can sit and relax."



Looks like they're gonna kill off their customers through heart disease.

We all know Wal Mart sucks, but they don't have to rub in it by hurting Krispy Kreme.

sorry...couldn't resist

donuts are the worst.

shed it, america!

always gonna be my favorite.

Actually, I would feel worse if KK went into Walmart, because then I would have to boycott those delicious melt in your mouth deep fried puffs of heaven.

KK would go out like that.

sure as hell don't need to go into walmart. they will do just fine without sinking to that level.

Exactly what I was thinking. Just add this to the reasons not to shop at Wal-Mart; they are trying to make your children obese.

That had made the same observation. Sad.

i have noticed that.

At least, that's been my observation.

They only sell pizza and hot dogs.

I wonder if there is any correlation?

:D

I have only been in a WalMart six times in my entire life, because I hate those places. But I did notice more fat people there than I ever see anywhere else, except MacDonalds. I used to pick my daughter up from MacDonalds when she worked there. All the obese people were a big hint to me never to eat their stuff.

probably from all the sugary and greasy food. :puke:

Pure bogus marketing that pushes that crap as tasty

what a weird fucking country this is

Krispy Kremes have now reached Australia and people are eating so many they are throwing up... the USA has a lot to answer for...
