America looks for a new energy source as Dunkin' Donuts experiences a shortage due to a manufacturing error.

If America runs on Dunkin’, a shortage of this vital energy source could cause serious disruptions for its customers. Due to a manufacturing error, the donut and coffee chain is experiencing shortages in several U.S. states.

Customers visiting Dunkin’ locations in Nebraska and New Mexico, and other states have reported empty shelves where donuts are typically stocked.

Dunkin' corporate keeps quiet

The company has yet to release a public statement about the shortage.

According to ABC9 WCPO in Cincinnati, an employee at a Dunkin’ shop in Omaha, Nebraska, mentioned that corporate headquarters instructed them not to provide additional details about the situation. The same employee expressed hope that their usual shipment would arrive next week.

However, a franchise owner in Omaha informed the Omaha World-Herald, the city’s local newspaper, that products from one supplier were deemed defective and could not be sold to customers. The door to an Omaha Dunkin posted a sign that read that “due to a donut manufacturing error,” the shop could not offer their customers their “favorite donuts at this time.”
