Dunkin’ Donuts Will Soon Outnumber Subway Stops In NYC

Gothamist:

As opponents fight tooth-and-nail to keep Walmart out of New York (some pols are threatening to not sell a plot to Related unless they get written assurances the retailer won’t end up there) hundreds of other chains have already plastered the city, a new study from the Center for an Urban Future hammers in. Yes, we knew there were more Subway shops than subway stops in Manhattan (163 stores, 147 stations) but who knew there are now almost as many Dunkin’ Donuts in the city as there are stations in the whole system (466 stores, 468 stations)?

Other fun facts to be gleaned from the report:

* Despite announcing store closings, Starbucks actually added 11 stores in the past year.

* After adding 10 stores last year McDonald’s went and dropped 17 this year. There are now just 241 of the fast food restaurants across town.
