Dunkin' Donuts in Iloilo


Way back in the early '90s the first store of Dunkin' Donuts opened in Iznart St., Iloilo City. Beside it was a theater which has long been closed down. Ilonggos would line up just to partake of the tasty doughnuts. The queue would be several meters long and yet the customers would patiently wait just to have one or two of these delectable treats. This phenomenon went on for several weeks and the line tapered to a more manageable and shorter one after a while. It being the only 24 hours food chain at that time, it was a favorite hang-out place of those who are into nocturnal activities. That Dunkin' Donuts branch still exists despite the emergence of several other branches and similar stores.
