There was actually none when I moved here. I guess they used to exists or something but left (idk why).
About....4? months ago they built one on Camp Pendelton for the troops. It's always packed as shit and I hoped that they were going to expand, but I read an article where their ceo or rep or w/e said they had no intentions of expanding in california and that this was a special case
goddamnit
things i miss about the east coast:
dunkin donuts
they even admitted their highest sales of their grocery store ground coffee is in california
as you can see, it's a very short list
i dont understand what the reasoning is behind not having them there, what is it?

"In the late 1990s, Dunkin' Donuts exited the California market, closing down approximately 15 stores. The company operated so few stores that the brand was not able to develop and prosper in the state." (1)
They may have found it hard to succeed in California because of the large amount of Cambodian donut shops in the state. A NYT article from 1995 characterizes the California donut market as "saturated" by Cambodian donut shops. (2) According to commenter bulavinka on Chowhound, "the donut market was flooded by these mostly immigrant/family-run operations, thereby crowding out just about any competitors whose operating margins were higher than these mom&pop businesses."

damn those cambodians. they ruin everything
I'll ship you east coast NYC pizza if you ship me in and out, but these have to be like, same day shit.
oh man things i love about the west coast:
in an out
as you can see, both lists consist of only food places
i live life only for food
oh you reminded me odon I have to kill my friend
there is something else that doesn't exist in cali....actually it doesn't seem to exists anywhere outside the north east.
duck sauce.
apparently using duck sauce isn't Chinese at all. I fucking love the shit on my egg rolls though. I have a friend in NY who doesn't like it though (not a North East native) and so every time he orders chinese food he sets it aside so he can ship them to me. Except he hasn't fucking sent them yet. He's been collecting for like over a year lmao (I bet some are no longer good, no idea how long those packets last).
Odon, ship me some duck sauce
I CRAVED IT WHILE PREGGO AND HE STILL DIDN'T SEND THEM THAT ASSHOLE
i would no trust anyone on bg with my address much less udon
