A tiny Dunkin' Donuts store is being constructed in the bus bays area of the Friendship Heights Metro station. The shop has a takeout window, and is just feet away from buses arriving and departing from the station. Dunkin' Donuts opened a more-traditional storefront at the Bethesda Metro Center, in the former Clark Building, just over a decade ago in February of 2014. Remember, no eating or drinking on Metro!
They will makes a lot of $$$. They have a teeny weeny kiosk in Baltimore Penn Station. It seems like About half the folks coming and going stop and get something.
ReplyDeleteI do miss the previous little store. They had surprisingly good empanadas. Learning
It's like a little photo mat or key kiosk.
ReplyDeleteI believe that new Dunkin’ Donuts is being constructed at the Friendship Heights Metro Station, not the Bethesda Metro Station.
ReplyDeleteThere's already a Dunkin Donuts across from the bus bay area at Bethesda Metro. Is that one closing? Is this in addition to that existing store? Would not make sense to have two in the same place. Kindly clarify.
ReplyDeleteWhen you charge $2.00 for one of those tiny, gone-in-two-bites doughnuts, and $4.29 for an XL coffee, the bucks absolutely add up quickly. It's not like Dunkin is offering their version of "glamor" or "elegance," like Starbucks thinks of themselves. Three doughnuts and an XL coffee run somewhere around $11 at DD, which is silliness. I was a Dunkin regular for many, many, many years, but they lost me with the prices they now charge. Instead, I go to 7-Eleven. That may mean risking my life in Bethesda, but the same 24-oz coffee is $2.85, (or, when they're running promotions, $2 for the coffee PLUS a free Krispy Kreme.)
ReplyDeleteLooks smaller than a cargo shipping container.
ReplyDelete6:54am Two different Metro stations, both will have Dunkin right off the escalators now. Perfect location!
