Other than the absence of Dunkin’ in the Pacific Northwest I am not sure I see any significant differences. What am I missing?

That anywhere there are lots of people, there will be lots of fast food chain restaurants. So all these plots are highly correlated with a general population density plot.

Yup. Definitely an r/peopleliveincities map

But I've never seen 9 of them together. So... that's something.

True. If you do a plot of Taco John locations in the USA, however, you will see a map of where people don’t live in the country. I love Taco John BTW, but they only seem to be in very isolated places.

Is a Taco John what people have to use immediately after eating Taco Bell?

Dunken is pretty sparse in the southwest as well starting just past the Florida panhandle. Both Starbucks and Dunkin have a triangular hole on the lower Mississippi.

Interesting pick up. Thanks

Look closely and you can see that the same thing happens with Domino's and Wendy's in terms of a density dip. Heck, pretty much the only two of the nine that don't are Subway and McD's.

It looks like America does not run on Dunkin after all.

Yeah, it's mostly New England and the northeastern US running on Dunkin.
Dunkin and Wawa.

Maybe Dunkin disputes the outcome of the 1846 Oregon boundary question so they don't view the Pacific Northwest as "America". Maybe they agree with Britain's claim that Canada's southern border should run along the 42nd parallel.
Has Dunkin's corporate PR ever addressed these allegations that I just made up??

Yeah, I think this would be better served to share some of the lesser known/ more regional chains

Starbucks is especially concentrated in larger towns and cities, while subway seems to have expanded to more remote towns while still maintaining a presence in cities.

All across the northwest, really. Looks like the donut drought starts at the Dakotas.
