States Still Lacking Dunkin' Donuts: A Coffee Conundrum
By Editor • August 31, 2026 • 1 min read
Despite the catchy slogan, "America runs on Dunkin'," there are still seven states where coffee lovers are left without a local Dunkin' Donuts. The absence is particularly notable in the Pacific Northwest, where Washington, Oregon, and Idaho stand as strongholds of Starbucks culture, making Dunkin' a rare find.
Montana and Alaska also join the ranks of Dunkin'-less states, with Alaska's remote nature posing challenges for fast food chains. However, the count may vary: North Dakota and South Dakota recently gained Dunkin' locations, but these are atypical. North Dakota's Dunkin' is nestled inside a Walmart in South Fargo, while South Dakota's is located on the University of South Dakota campus, accessible mainly to students and faculty.
South Dakota is set to add another Dunkin' inside a Walmart in Aberdeen, but these limited-access locations raise questions about the true availability of Dunkin' in these states. Notably, South Dakota once had a Dunkin' but lost it two decades ago, leaving many craving the chain's offerings.
