Dunkin donuts? good idea for a business in ireland?

Question

was thinking,sligo would go crazy for this i think but could it be done? and what do you think? i always here irish people rave about dunkin donuts when they come back from america so why not bring it here? makes sense?

Answer 1

We had dunkin donuts here around 10 yrs ago, but they don't appear to have been too successful, as I don't think there is even 1 in my city (Dublin) today. However, maybe the time is right to bring it back. KFC went out of business in Ireland in the mid-80's but came back a few years ago and is doing really well.

Good luck :)

Answer 2

In my opinion,Irish would go for Bagel shops more,not mad about donuts meself!

Answer 3

well i think it's a good idea,i know loads of people who love doughnuts.me,myself,i hate doughnuts so i wouldn't be one of their customers

Answer 4

I think it could definitely be done, once it junk food people will go crazy for it. Dunkin donuts aren't available in Ireland so that would do good business.

Good Luck. = )

Answer 5

Gah not another huge American food chain please.

Answer 6

Sure it could be done. It's successful already in Belfast.

Answer 7

haha, duncan nonuts! thats funny!

i love donuts! could work----

but could u bear in un conscience contributing to the country's fattening?????? i personally couldn XDXD

Answer 8

I dont think there would be the market for it!  I didnt bother with any of that when i was in America, and have NEVER heard anyone "rave" about it or even mention it!

Answer 9

there already are dunkin donuts in ireland. there were more maybe about 6 years ago but they didnt do well and all of them, that i knew of in different towns around  me all closed.

and im sure theres none in belfast so i dont know what that comments about.

Answer 10

I don't know Sligo very well but there are lots of Dunkin donuts and other similar chains in Ireland.

Answer 11

mebbe you could try Duncan Nonuts for people who are allergic to hazelnuts

Answer 12

i personally speaking dont think so coffee shop that make their own cakes and pastries are doing really well

Answer 13

i just got back last week, someone from my town went there and brought the bagels and now has a chain over there, im not so sure about d and d though as they are tea drinkers and they think ice coffee and ice tea is digusting.. so i would have to say i dont think so.. sorry

Answer 14

great idea !! go for it !!

Answer 15

Do some Market reasearch. you have to spend money to make money, plus if you are going to a bank for a loan you will need a business plan, you will only be sucessfull if you can back up your claims with hard facts i.e. numbers figures and projected earnings that not over hyped, remember you are asking other people to give you their money.

If there is a market for it or not you will know if there is a gap(or hole pardon the pun) in the market by proper market reasearch.

But i think cusine de france have the market well and truly covered, they are already established in many petrol stations and supermarkets.

Answer 16

Do not bring that **** into this country, we already have enough problems with people's health as it is. MacDonald's is bad enough.
