Dunkin’ Donuts Slimming Down

Source: Dunkin
Dunkin’ Donuts is slimming down by chopping the ‘Donuts’ portion from its name.
Not to fret though – the coffee and donut chain will still offer their famous doughnuts, but will instead be known only by Dunkin’.

It’s official: We’re going by Dunkin’ now. 🤗 After 68 years of America running on Dunkin’, we're moving to a first-name basis. 🧡 Excited to be #BFFstatus with you all 👯☕️🍩 #firstnamebasis #besties pic.twitter.com/hmzd2Bamlm

In a social media post, the restaurant revealed, “After 68 years of America running on Dunkin’, we’re moving to a first-name basis. Excited to be #BFFstatus with you all.”
The name change will go into effect in January 2019 as it moves towards becoming more of a beverage retailer.

Am I like the one person in the world who is fine with #DunkinDonuts changing to #Dunkin?

I mean, they've been using the slogan America Runs On DUNKIN' for so long know, it only makes sense.

“Our new branding is one of the many things we are doing as part of our blueprint for growth to modernize the Dunkin’s experience for our customers,” Dunkin’ Brands CEO David Hoffman said in a statement.
