Dunkin' Donuts is currently grappling with a donut shortage that is affecting some locations across the United States. Approximately 4% of Dunkin' stores are impacted, particularly in states like Nebraska and New Mexico, where customers have reported missing donuts and signs have been posted at affected locations. However, as of January 13, 2025, Minnesota's 41 Dunkin' stores have not reported any shortages, allowing local customers to enjoy their favorite treats without disruption.
The company has attributed the shortage to a 'manufacturing error,' which has led to the temporary unavailability of certain donut varieties in the affected regions. Dunkin' operates around 9,500 stores nationwide, and while the shortage is limited, it has raised concerns among loyal customers who rely on the brand for their daily coffee and donut fix. As the situation develops, Dunkin' is working to resolve the manufacturing issues to restore full availability of their products across all locations. [cf7a619c]
