While growing up, this fast-food restaurant has held an integral place in my heart. Knowing how much I loved donuts, my grandparents have made it a tradition to bring a box every time they come to visit. Because they live so far away, the family only gets to see them once every other year. When they arrive, it is always exciting to see them carry on the custom and appear with the box of goodies. Ever since I was a little girl, I have loved the variety of donuts that Dunkin’ has to offer. From Boston Kreme to Strawberry Frosted, the variation of these tasty treats never seems to disappoint. Dunkin’ Donuts does not just hold significance fulfilling my cravings, but it holds great importance in the memories I have made with my grandparents. So, you may ask, “Why Dunkin’?” I choose this company because it is not just a restaurant. It is an opportunity: an opportunity to create memories, an opportunity to change lives, and an opportunity to help the company

In the end you're ultimately just paying to advertise for the company because their label is all over the

But in my opinion, Starbucks’ coffee is much healthier and going there is a much better choice for us.
No one wants to spend however amount of money on a cup of coffee for it to taste bad, when paying for coffee you would like to actually enjoy the coffee. Both locations Dunkin’ Donuts and Starbucks have a variety of flavors and options to choose from. In my opinion Dunkin’ Donuts has a very smooth coffee, as Starbucks coffee tends to be more “bold and harsh.” I personally feel that in all my trips to Starbucks, the coffee tends to taste burnt. I myself just do not enjoy that type of coffee, but if you are the type to drink bold and extremely strong coffee, Starbucks is the way to
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).
Starbucks financial statements were analyzed for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2015. Like all public companies, annual and quarterly financial statements are required to allow regulators and other interested parties to analyze the financial status and management decision making of the company. This analysis focuses on the results of Starbucks most recent published annual report containing their balance sheets, statement of earnings and cash flows. These statements will be analyzed against the results of one of its competitors, Dunkin Donuts, to investigate how the two companies compare to each other. It was noted that Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts do not have corresponding fiscal year ends. The data therefore is not directly comparable since the reports do not reflect the same time period of data but should provide additional insight. The paper will attempt to provide a brief analysis of Starbucks operations in terms of its liquidity, leverage, activity, profitability and growth ratios used by analysts in the industry.
