The Only States In America Without A Single Dunkin' Location
BY WENDY LEIGH
The number of U.S. Dunkin’ locations is near the 10,000-store threshold, but there's a pocket of states in America — seven, to be exact — without a single Dunkin' store.
Most of these states lie in the Northwest region, including Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and Washington state. North and South Dakota and Alaska also lack Dunkin's.
Washington hasn’t had a Dunkin’ since 2002, and prior to that, the chain peaked at 10 locations over its roughly 40-year stint. This may be because Starbucks dominates the area.
The final two franchisees in Washington state also cited issues with the slow entry of Dunkin' products into their market, plus a lack of allocated advertising.
