Developed and operated by two men named Harold Butler and Richard Jezak, Denny’s began life as a 1953 Lakewood California donut shop known as Danny’s Donuts. Danny’s Donuts expanded to a six-store chain. When Jezak left the company Butler re-envisioned, developed, and implemented a plan for Danny’s Donuts to include coffee-shop edibles and other food faire. Then in 1956 Butler renamed the company to Danny’s Coffee Shops and went to a 24/7 operational schedule. To avoid confusion with another Los Angeles based restaurant, Coffee Dan’s, Butler changed the name in 1961 to Denny’s Coffee Shops. Eventually the “Coffee Shops” portion of the name was removed leaving the current name Denny’s intact as it remains today.

Each of the retail stores is a doughnut factory with the capacity to produce between 4,000 and 10,000 dozen doughnuts daily. Each factory store contains a full doughnut making production line. The factory store is marketed as a unique retail experience, featuring the store’s production process, including a doughnut-making theater. The stores also support multiple sales channels to more fully use production capacity. Stores provide Krispy Kreme doughnuts to be sold in satellite locations, ballparks, and grocery stores, and under private label marketing agreements.

I've never made a donut in my life, but I've eaten like, a million, so I'm confident I can come up with some interesting creations.

I have chosen Dunkin Donuts for my Ethnography of a Coffee House report. Opened in 1948 by William Rosenberg in Quincy, Massachusetts, Mr. Rosenberg named his restaurant “Open Kettle” which at that time served only donuts and coffee. Two years later in 1950, Mr. Rosenberg renamed his restaurant “Dunkin Donuts.” Mr. Rosenberg’s goal was “make and serve the freshest, most delicious coffee and donuts quickly and courteously in modern, well-merchandised stores,” a philosophy which still holds true today (News Dunkin Donuts).

To mitigate this, we suggest filing a trademark for “May’s Chocolate Moose”, to be used exclusively for wholesale offerings. We suggest that Chocolate Moose continue to emphasize its signature moose logo and current color scheme, while also making sure that “Made in Bloomington” is emphasized on the packaging. If executed in this fashion, we are confident that marketing in wholesale markets under this trademark will be conducive to and recognizable as the Chocolate Moose brand. As mentioned in the previous section, we also suggest that Chocolate Moose create an online order platform for commercial sales which will allow Lovey to better track orders, while also eliminating the inherent risks associated with the current phone call system. To save on production costs, we propose Chocolate Moose provide grocers with their six best-selling ice cream flavors. These flavors include Vanilla, Vegan Vanilla, Moose Chocolate, Vegan Chocolate, BC Coffee, and
