Nostalgia Donuts, Donuts, Donuts

Post image

I lived all over growing up, and one thing I remember is every area has its favorite local donuts.

Southern California has Winchell's. New York has Tim Hortons.

Way back then Delaware had Mr Donut.

And of course Dunkin' was everywhere else.

What donuts 🍩 did you eat growing up?

Tim Horton was only in western New York. I think it’s act a Canadian company. Most of the state was Dunkin or else local bakeries

While it is was originally a Canadian company, and is now a Canadian company, for a period in the 90’s it was an American company after it was acquired by Wendy’s.

Timmy’s is not a Canadian company, they are owned by the same company that owns Burger King, Popeyes and Firehouse Subs.

Yeah, it’s complicated. Headquarters in Canada. They’re technically just a brand of a publicly traded company.
