At the December 12 Planning Board meeting, Ben Daviss reported information he had received, apparently from a well-placed source, that Dunkin' Donuts had targeted Walpole for a new store and was training someone to be its manager. I thought I would investigate a bit further by phoning the Dunkin' Donuts corporate headquarters in Canton, MA to inquire.
I checked their web site at www.dunkindonuts.com and called them last Friday afternoon. Interesting! In an age where most businesses are eager to respond to public inquiries, at Dunkin's web site you find very few names, no phone numbers and no email addresses. Actually I finally found one phone number and, fortunately, that was for press inquiries. So...I left a message about why I had called and requested a call back.
So far silence! CCB
