Dunkin’ Downtown
I know a surprising number of other-
wise seemingly sane people who go absolutely gaga over Dunkin’ Donuts. To be honest, I don’t quite get it. Oddly enough, for most of those people, it’s not even the donuts that are the attraction, but rather Dunkin’ Donuts coffee. Well, Dunkin’ aficionados will be thrilled to know that Dunkin’ Donuts is finally
coming to Utah. Or rather, coming back to Utah, since I’ve been told that there was once a Dunkin’ Donuts in Salt Lake City, years ago. Anyway, in June, Dunkin’ Donuts will open a downtown
location at the corner of 200 East and 400 South, in the space of the former Burger King, across from the Salt Lake City Main Library. Visit DunkinDonuts.com
for more information.
