On National Donut Day, a history of Dunkin' Donuts


In almost everything but prices, the first Dunkin’ Donuts on Southern Artery in Quincy is a blast from the past, complete with its old-fashioned script outdoor sign, question mark counter with stools, doughnut tables, and baked goods on display as you enter.
