The Founding Father of Dunkin.
Almost every success story out there has humble beginnings far back from where they stand on their noble hill at the peak of their triumph.
Wise leaders and entrepreneurs around the world have always known when they take their first step that it must be something that holds a strong passion in their heart so that when challenges arise they can overcome the adversity in their midst.
They also know that when these challenges arise that it would have been foolish to bite off more than they could chew before they laid forth a strong foundation and gained a sturdy foothold in the path to their goal.
Dunkin Donuts was no different...
Founded in 1948 by the ambitious and highly successful entrepreneur William Rosenberg, it started out being known as Open Kettle for the first two years in its still standing founding store in Quincy, MA.
They didn't serve our iconic Dunkin Donuts flavors were so used to seeing on the shelves now, instead they served simple but good coffee, pastries and sandwiches which helped plant a foothold that they needed to grow and thrive.
After those first two years had passed the name was changed to Dunkin Donuts and within four years multiple locations had already opened.
The Dunkin Donuts Original Blend we drink in our mugs now has been served to customers since it's founding and has been their iconic and foundational beverage that has launched them into the massive success that they are now.
Fast forward to 2023 and not only is the original blend still on the market it's still on of their most popular drinks sold world wide. The classic roast is designed perfectly to create a medium smooth experience with great flavor notes to enhance your experience.
Here's another incredible fact to know about Dunkin Donuts. They sell about 60 coffee cups per second, which comes out to around 2 billion cups of coffee sold per year.
That is A LOT of coffee!
If only we could all be so successful!
How Smooth is Smooth?
That's a fair question to ask, after all what's so special about the original?
Aside from being known as smooth it's also described to be velvety and nutty with some earthy notes and a hint of citrus, toffee, and vanilla.
These finely blended flavors make Dunkin's Original highly versatile which gave the company the flexibility it needed in the early days to overcome its competitors.
Now you can buy Dunkin's Original flavor in bulk all over the place from Wal-Mart to Cisco, Sam's Club and Amazon.
Happy sipping my fellow coffee lovers!
