The Dunkin Donuts and Baskin Robbins on the corner of St. Marks and Flatbush has been seized, emptied, and locked up. The reason was unclear from the notice posted on the door, did anyone know of any trouble already brewing there? GMAP

  1. My guess is that it’s an internal issue with the franchisee and Dunkin. I didn’t see the notice on the window, but I know that there was an issue with them violating a contract and bringing in a partner that was unauthorized, and I think Dunkin was looking for an excuse.

  2. Mopar — The partially hydrogenated oils are in the shortening ingredients that IMBY cut-and-pasted from the Dunkin Donuts website… their national, generic website. That’s why I omitted it when i relisted the ingredients in a less frightening way.

    In NYC, restaurants must use trans fat free shortening. OR they can use products with NATURAL trans fats like deeeeelicious butter!

  3. I used to buy coffee and occasionally a sugar raised donut there in the morning on my way to work in Park Slope. It was run by a group of Pakistanis it appeared; they were the morning crew, except for one woman of interdeterminable ethnicity.

    In the evening I’d walk by and see people sitting people watching or reading the Daily News. Never had any negative experience there; I once emailed DD corporate hedquarters and said how that particular store was very well run, and also the one on Ralph Ave. and Avenue. J, the two I know best.

  4. DD and BR are now owned by Allied Domecq PLC. The other brands they own are Beefeater, Ballantine’s, Courvoisier, Canadian Club, Kahlua, Maker’s Mark, Sauza and Tia Maria and Togos outlets (whatever they are).
