Dunkin' Donuts Faces Supply Shortage in U.S.

Dunkin' Donuts is experiencing a temporary doughnut shortage due to a manufacturing error linked to a single supplier, affecting locations primarily in Nebraska and New Mexico. Customers have reported empty shelves at stores in Omaha, Lincoln, and Grand Island, leading to disappointment among regular patrons who found no doughnuts available. The company confirmed that less than one percent of its locations are still impacted and is actively restocking affected stores. Franchise owners indicated that some products did not meet quality standards, prompting the decision to hold off on sales. Although some stores managed to offer limited supplies of doughnut holes, many customers left empty-handed. Dunkin' anticipates replenishing inventory soon, providing hope for those craving their favorite pastries.
