		<description>Hmm.  I saw that as well.  I&#039;d recommend to Dunkin&#039; that they would do better by focusing on having better doughnuts (and cleaner facilities) to grow the customer base.    Otherwise, they do run the risk of driving off their core market who &quot;hate&quot; Starbucks.    And, &quot;Me too&quot; seldom works for long.</description>

		<description>Could be the early warning sign indeed. And according to a posting over at Brand Autposy, Dunkin Donuts is remodeling some stores to look more like Starbucks. Never mind one dog chasing their own tail, sounds like both of them are in the crazy spiral.</description>
