Yes, it's nice to have a Dunkin Donuts in Powderhouse Square. There was a glaring Dunkin Donuts void between the Maguon Square, Davis Square, and Boston Avenue locations...not to mention the five or six other coffee shops within walking distance, including one practically next door. So yeah, it's nice to finally have a Dunkin Donuts in the neighborhood.
Seriously though, I'm no DD-hater. I do occasionally stop by this Dunkin Donuts on my way to work, so I shouldn't complain about market saturation. The basis of this one-star review is the poorly-staffed, abysmally-stocked convenience store. A stoned, starving, well-funded college student could enter Five Corner Convenience and leave without making a purchase, so poor is their selection of food and beverages. They don't stock 20 oz Coke products...or haven't the six or seven times I've stopped by for a Coke Zero. I've stopped by a few times after work, hungry and looking for a snack. Nothing special, just standard convenience store fare. I almost always leave empty-handed. When I'm hungry and foolish enough to enter a Store 24, the allure of plastic-wrapped goodies inevitably results in a purchase of $20 or so. Here? Nothing. read more
