In the future, historians will look back at September 2022 as the beginning of the end for the town of Stow, Massachusetts. The final pages of Stow’s story will be written about the Munchkin crumb trail leading from the closure of its Dunkin’ Donuts stores and the ensuing departure of a population who, as a news report shows us, have no reason to live in a place that Dunkin’ has turned away from.
WBZ NewsRadio’s Matt Shearer tweeted his look into this sad tale beginning with footage of a cigarette butt lying next to a Dunkin’-branded piece of litter and news that Stow has been forsaken by the franchised coffee and donut gods. Two citizens confirm the news.
“There is no more Dunkin’ Donuts in Stow,” one man says.
