Innerbody Research<\/a>, which compared Google searches for 15 major coffee chains to identify the most-searched brand in each state, Starbucks is a fan fave across 21 states, stretching from Washington and Colorado to Florida, Texas, Virginia, and the Carolinas. <\/p>\nBut it doesn\u2019t own the whole map. In fact, Innerbody\u2019s data finds that Dunkin\u2019 rules the Northeast.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo brand has a cleaner regional stronghold than Dunkin\u2019,\u201d the report notes. \u201cIt wins 10 states \u2014 Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont \u2014 forming a tight Northeast and Mid-Atlantic stronghold.\u201d<\/p>\n
Originally founded in 1948 as Open Kettle in Quincy, Massachusetts, the brand was renamed Dunkin\u2019 Donuts in 1950. The brand has always sold coffee alongside its donuts, but the beverage eventually became important enough to justify dropping \u201cDonuts\u201d from the company name in 2019.<\/p>\n
Today, there are more than 12,000 Dunkin\u2019 restaurants in 45 countries, including more than 1,400 in New York \u2014 the highest number of any state in the U.S. According to several data sites, Starbucks has half that amount, 740 cafes throughout the Empire State. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe have continued to innovate our menu offerings with a robust beverage lineup, including Rainforest Alliance Certified Dark Roast coffee, Cold Brew, Macchiato and Premium Hot Teas,\u201d Dunkin\u2019 notes on its website.<\/p>\n
