San Diego got a new Dunkin’ Donuts and people are freaking out
Hundreds of people waited in line for doughnuts and coffee on opening day.
Southern California runs on Dunkin’, even if they have to wait hours for it.
San Diego County’s first 24-hour drive-thru Dunkin’ Donuts opened for business Tuesday, and the residents of National City came out in full force.
According to NBC San Diego, a line of at least 100 cars backed traffic up into the next neighborhood, with police eventually showing up to ease the bottleneck. Hundreds of pedestrians waited between 45 and 90 minutes in line for coffee and doughnuts. The most diehard Dunkin’ fans got in line at 8:30 p.m. the night before.
“I’d wait two hours for them doughnuts,” one customer told NBC San Diego.
Ever since Dunkin’ Donuts announced plans back in 2014 to open around 1,000 California locations, residents have shown their enthusiasm for the Massachusetts chain.
“We’re from the East Coast, so it’s home for us,” one woman told NBC San Diego. “These are what doughnuts are. We’re happy they finally made their way to San Diego.”
