ANTIQUE, VINTAGE 1960'S, CANADIAN DUNKIN' DOUGHNUTS LUNCH PAIL!!!

ANTIQUE, VINTAGE 1960'S, CANADIAN DUNKIN' DOUGHNUTS LUNCH PAIL!!! www.viscountofvintage.com Dunkin' Donuts opened its first International Location in Canada in 1961. Despite once having hundreds of stores nationwide, Dunkin' Donuts and its market share all but vanished from Canada by the turn of the century. In the late 1990s to early 2000s the chain began disappearing from all regions of Canada, with its last foothold in the province of Quebec. However, its decline was most apparent in Quebec, where the chain once had 210 stores but by mid 2017, it only had three. By then, only one free standing store had the facilities to make Doughnuts fresh on site, the other two were merely Shopping Mall Food Court Stands, dependent on the delivery of baked goods from the Main Store. One of the main reasons for Dunkin' Donuts' decline was competition with Tim Hortons. A group of Dunkin' Donuts franchisees won a C$16.4 Million Dollar civil court judgement against the parent company for failing to adequately promote the brand in Canada. In September 2018, after 57 years of operating in Canada, Dunkin' Donuts ceased all business operations.
