Doughnut-lovers, you might want to sit down for this: your favorite shop might be closing sometime soon. Dunkin' Donuts announced [1] that it plans to shut down 100 United States locations. While Dunkin' Brands assures doughnut-lovers that the closures represent only a sliver of the business, the triple-digit closures are a little unsettling . . . especially because the company hasn't announced which stores are getting shut down.

So how will you know if your go-to Dunkin' is affected by this strategic business move? The waiting game should be over within 16 months, when the brand plans to complete all scheduled store closures. Cross your fingers!
