powderhouse convenience store

on my daily trek to work i pass the abandoned corner store on college and broadway. as of yesterday the space was being gutted. i asked one of the workers this morning what was going in, he said a dunkin donuts and a convenience store. i guess they're subdividing the space?

i'm glad the storefront won't be empty, but... i don't know what this means for the broken yolk. (nice folks)

I'm going to be alone on this, but Yay dunkin donuts within easy walking distance of my house!

I was sad to see the old convenience store go, I used to stop there for soda most mornings on my way to the subway, but I wasn't surprised. I'm glad another will be taking its place.

Boooo. Somerville doesn't need any more Dunkin Donuts. Why not rent to a competitor instead, like Honeydew or Marylou's or Peet's?

DD and Broken Yolk aren't even slightly similar establishments, so I don't see how it's any threat to the Yolk.

There is a rule that each person in Massachusetts must live within 100 feet of at least 3 different Dunkin Donuts.

This won't hurt the Broken Yolk. At Dunks they don't have delicious pancakes and omletttes, and Dunks doesn't give you a free muffin while you and your partner wait for your breakfasts. Totally different level of service and dining.

Now I'm craving Broken Yolk. OM NOM NOM I have to go to work.
