The Dunkin’ Donuts Website features this mantra:
How everyday people get things done, every day.
What are the keys to getting things done? A can-do attitude, of course. And a quick stop at Dunkin’ Donuts. Whether you need a delicious cup of coffee, a quick snack on the go, or an icy cold beverage, Dunkin’ Donuts helps you tackle any task at hand.
Mom and dads. Students and senior citizens. Blue collar, white collar, and every collar inbetween. Dunkin’ Donuts is how everyday people get things done, every day.
