Maybe buy two dozen and treat the First Class cabin to a DD treat on the morning bagel/biscuit/fruit flights!!

Tho I wish it were a Tim Hortons (owned by DD as I recall tho they seem to be only in Canada).

Well, 5 of the 10 fattest cities in the US are in Texas. DD is just trying to help them maintain their status.

Cheers.

Any chance this might relieve some of the ridiculously long lines I've observed at the Starbux at DFW? (I don't drink that cappuchino/latte/whatever stuff, so don't really know. I get my coffee at the AC.)

They've been expanding into northern New England the last several years.

DD caters more to the regular coffee and donut/bagel crowd. If your idea of Nirvana is a soy latte DD is definitely NOT for you.

Their prices are usually a bit more reasonable than SB - I think their coffee is better too - although who knows what they'll do in a captive market.

I am sooooooooooooo happy.

I love their iced coffee and now will not complain when I can't connect through ORD.

yummmm..iced coffee

a glazed stick, or choc glazed goes well with one of their iced coffees.

If you're connecting through ORD, Burrito Beach is good right before some DD iced coffee :)

I remember a few years back when Hawaii got its first Krispy Kreme. Some pax on my inter-island flight had huge boxes full of the goodies that they were transporting to another island. They didn't share w/ the rest of us though.

I wish it were a Tim Hortons (owned by DD as I recall tho they seem to be only in Canada) No, Tim Hortons is DD's sworn enemy. Wendy's used to own Tim Horton's but spun them off a few years ago.

Tim Horton's is a Canadian firm and a Canadian icon. They are everywhere in Canada and pretty good too. Tim Horton's has been lurking in Maine and other border markets for a few years and now is making a play in DD strongholds like Boston + suburbs, where insane coffee-and-donut wars are breaking out all over.

I LOVE DD coffee! We have a five-pound box of beans shipped to us in Seattle each month! It beats Starbucks to death. DD coffee cravers can set up a by-mail subscription on the DD website.

I hope DD takes over the entire country. They are painfully absent from the west. Although I drive past a donut-and-coffee store in north Seattle that looks like an old late-1970s DD that has been re-signed, so maybe they were here once but fled. Time to come back, especially with Krispy Kreme flaming out.

I love the donut wars. :)

TH is a donut fan, I like the bagels.

Blumie, if you want to share your wealth of VIPs with me, I'll sit in J. I share my upgrades with TH, thus cutting down my upgrading possiblities by half.

Which is why Richard Branson has selected San Antonio (and Tampa) as potential test market cities for his Virgin Insurance Group. People who accomplish key goals in terms of fitness and weight loss get free tickets on Virgin...

PS.. Six Flags Water park on a Sunday at 5PM is NOT, I repeat, NOT a pretty sight...

My SO, Professor Dallasaudiguy, is so darned excited about DD coming to Dallas with retail stores. This may just send her over the edge.

it's the only thing she misses about Western MA.

I took three sips of DD coffee once and had to throw it out. Yuck.
It would be nice to get a Timmy's at DFW, but we can't even get one airside at the US-bound gates at YYZ T3.

IMO... The only thing in the world WORSE than DD coffee is Timmy's coffee....

Tim Horton's is all over upstate NY, and has been for a few years.

I've been excited about the DD opening at DFW since I saw the signage a couple of months ago. DD coffee is SOOOOO much better than SB and their apple fritters are something I'll defy my flour allergy (and suffer the consequences) to have a couple of bites of.

Since most of the Dallas area Dunkins closed up shop (save for one Baskin-Robbins/DD split franchise in Carrollton), this is happy news for this DFW local!

Tim Horton's has been in (of all places) West Virginia (http://web.sa.mapquest.com/timhortons/advantage.adp?transaction=search&table=MQ_31332&county=&country=US&radius=50&units=mi&pwidth=400&pheight=324&maxsearchresults=100&address=&city=parkersburg&stateProvince=WV&postalCode=&searchradius=50mi&x=49&y=15) for 10 or so years now.

I must be weird, I don't think DD doughnuts are that great.
