The Great Los Angeles Dunkin' Drought: A Quest for Munchkins in the Land of Acai Bowls
Ah, Los Angeles. The land of sunshine, celebrities, and...wait, where are all the Dunkin' Donuts? As a devoted Dunkin' devotee (and yes, I proudly say "devotee"), a recent trip to LA left me feeling like a parched traveler in the Sahara – but instead of sand, it was a sea of trendy juice bars and avocado toast cafes.
Did Dunkin' Donuts Forget About the West Coast?
According to my extensive research (aka several frantic Google searches between dodging selfie sticks on Hollywood Boulevard), Dunkin' Donuts has a surprisingly small presence in Los Angeles. We're talking single digits, folks. It's like finding a unicorn in a field of kale. Now, don't get me wrong, I appreciate a good cold-pressed juice as much as the next person, but sometimes you just need a classic cup of joe and a Boston Kreme to get your day going.
A Conspiracy Theory for the Ages (Well, Maybe Not That Dramatic)
Is there a secret society in LA dedicated to keeping Dunkin' out? Are they worried their perfectly curated açai bowls will be dethroned by a jelly donut? Maybe it's a climate thing. Do Dunkin' Donuts fear their delicate donuts will melt in the California sun? The plot thickens...
A Beacon of Hope (and Munchkins!)
Fear not, fellow Dunkin' disciples! There are a handful of Dunkin' Donuts scattered across the LA landscape. But be prepared for a potential pilgrimage – you might have to dodge a few traffic jams and celebrity sightings to get your donut fix.
Pro Tip: Download the Dunkin' app and use the location finder before you embark on your donut quest. There's nothing worse than rolling up to a trendy juice bar with high hopes of a glazed dream, only to be met with disappointment (and a $12 green juice).
The Moral of the Story?
Los Angeles, we love your sunshine and eccentricities, but a little Dunkin' love wouldn't hurt. Who knows, maybe with enough demand, we can turn this Dunkin' drought into a distant memory. Until then, we'll be the ones sporting Dunkin' t-shirts and searching for those elusive Munchkins. The fight for donut freedom continues!
