Mmmmm... Donuts!

Start your day early with a stop at Dunkin Donuts for a jolt of caffeine and a box of Homer's favorites -- pink iced with sprinkles. While you're there, consider buying a franchise: In mid-August the company -- which Bain bought in 2006, took public and has just recently profitably sold the remainder of its shares in -- announced plans to more than double its shops in the U.S. during the next two decades.
