Corporate America gone amok...

In my little area of NE Connecticut, there are nine Duncan Donuts within the corporate limits of Putnam, population 9, 100. Nine of them. Everything from a big kitchen/training store to small bistro type stores that have no kitchens, but are supplied by the kitchen store. There are two Starbucks and one private entity coffee shop. There used to be three little coffee/donut shops in Putnam that were run as mom/pop operations - no longer. Now I ask you - why does the town of Putnam need one big corporate supported coffee, muffin/pastry/donut shop per 766 people? Seriously. -- Logistics. There must be a lot of people travelling through, or they just wouldn't make a profit. |
