My project will be on the differences between Peet’s Coffee and Dunkin Doughnuts. I have pondered about what makes these coffee shops different from one another. During my exploration on Wabash Avenue, I came to the conclusion that location is important regarding customer population in stores. I also realized the importance of customers, customer service, store management, and store atmosphere. Because of my project I got to understand what my topic truly was. At first, I thought that it would be based completely off of location. Throughout time though, I realized that I would discuss how the effect of a store’s environment depends more on the store’s management than the location itself.

When our professor first presented this project paper to us my mind began to wonder. What is a good company to research and present it to my fellow classmates. My first selection was “Chik-fil-a”, but I wasn’t sure if we could write about fast food franchises. So I continued to brainstorm about a topic to expound on, even going as far as in asking my buddies and co-workers for suggestions. “Walmart”, “National Football League”, “National Basketball Association”, “Nationwide Insurance”, and “LG” were a few ideas that were presented to me. A few of those sounded ok but none really grasp my attention. As I was visiting an outlet mall, I came across Nike store. “Wow that’s going to by my topic of choice”, is what I told myself. Week

I chose Dunkin Donuts for my report. The donut and coffee shop that America runs on, has been around since 1950. Founder, William Rosenberg, soon had four locations opened by 1955 (Tierney, J). While this chain may be fairly old, creativity has never been a problem for them; they boast unique coffee flavors and sandwiches on doughnuts that even include bacon. While these items are unique, they do not sell themselves. Extensive marketing and public relations expertise help make this company the success it is.
