When Dunkin’ (née Dunkin’ Donuts) arrived in Santa Monica, California in 2014, I was excited, to say the least.
The chain holds a special place in my heart, having come from the east coast. I’m not the only one, either—Dunkin’ had a line down the block the day it opened its doors. According to KTLA, the first customer showed up around 9:30 pm on Sunday evening in anticipation of the store’s Tuesday opening. It’s undeniable: the love for Dunkin’ runs deep.
