Dunkin' Donuts Opens in Shanghai
After opening stores in Taiwan, Dunkin' Donuts is breaking into the Chinese market. The company announced that it plans to open 100 restaurants in the city over the next 10 years.
Shanghai residents will get all the good things we get from Dunkies, and they won't even have to deal with Rachael Ray. The company will also sell "green tea and honeydew melon doughnuts, as well as mochi rings, which are similar to cake doughnuts but made with rice flour indigenous to the region." A green tea donut might be tasty, but Bostonist isn't quite sold on the thought of a honeydew melon flavor.
Bostonist would like to take a moment to invite its sister in the -Ist-a-Verse, Shanghaiist, to the wonderful world of Dunkin' Donuts. We sincerely hope that Dunkin' Donuts appeals more to you than Taco Bell did.
