Dunkin’ Donuts Colors Called ‘Shocking’

Yesterday, officials in Milford Township, Bucks County, finally approved a drive-through Dunkin’ Donuts just off the Quakertown Exit of the Pennsylvania Turnpike. The doughnut shop was approved after changing the design to a “colonial architectural style that would fit in with the Upper Bucks township.”

What was the problem with the original Dunkin’ Donuts? Well, you can read for yourself:

“You drive around our state and others and the villages and towns are a hodgepodge and are ugly. This keeps us neat,” said Supervisor Tim Damiani.

It also means the store will be designed with more muted, earth-tone colors, and not the bright orange familiarly associated with the chain.

Original plans for the location called for a flat 1950s-style roof with “shocking, startling colors,” said township manager Jeff Vey, so township officials requested the developer rework the design

There really is nothing more frightening than the orange and hot pink. If an NFL team picked those as their colors, they’d go 19-0 and win the Super Bowl every year.

    Gawd, people in Upper Bucks are sooooo superior.
    They’re tilting at windmills anyway: some day Milford Township will look just right Rt. 13 in Levittown. Why fight it?

    As one who has traveled throughout the USA (especially suburbia) I applaud the sup’s request to redesign.

    And for those of you who say ‘why fight it’ stay in Leavit (Levittown)

    We fight it because we can and we should. No one is saying we’re superior than others. We just want it to blend with our towns, not have to blend to their designs!

    As one who has traveled throughout the USA (especially suburbia) I applaud the MT Sup’s request for re-design.

    And for those of you who say ‘why fight it?’ …stay in Leave-it (Levittown)

    We fight it because we can and we should. No one is saying we’re superior than others. We just want it to blend with our towns, not have to blend to their designs!

    It is good to know we have some taste in our Township.

    Now…send the Coyote packing down the road.
    Say! How about on Route 13 around Levittown!?

    Milford Township residents are not superior to you, they just don’t want to BE like you.
