    Looks like converted 70’s old-skool dunks replaced by a next door new skool dunks. Wonder why they abandon and build new…

    So that you can have the old establishment open while the new one is being built and not lose customers to competitors during that time. Customers that may never come back

    Ah. Never realized that. But I still wonder why abandon in the first place? Is the old space so uninhabitable?

    a lot of those old school locations didn't have space for a drive thru.

    They also had a bunch of prep and cooking space in the back… a whole bunch of the new stores have their doughnuts delivered…. So if demand is higher than expected they cannot make more and run out.

    Oh duh. Yes no one needs donut making space. That left with Fred the baker

    SEE! This is what happens when you have a *Investor Company * have a hand in owning some shares of a company and the first thing they do is make the company disappear and take the money and run.
