Dunkin' Donuts is bringing its unhealthy snacks and cheap coffee to Ninth Avenue in Hell's Kitchen. "The opening of a new store is in keeping with the expansion plans that the donut and budget coffee company has been following in New York. At a time when other chains, including coffee giant Starbucks, are scaling back in the city and elsewhere, Dunkin' is expanding. It plans to triple its U.S. store count to 15,000 by 2020." [TRD]
