Previously known as Dunkin' Donuts, in 2018 the company announced that it was dropping "Donuts" from its name in a rebrand to increase focus on its coffee and other drinks, which made up of a majority of its sales. Dunkin' has attributed the shortage of its doughnuts to a combination of production challenges and logistical delays.

Some Dunkin' stores across the country temporarily ran out of the chain’s signature item. According to multiple reports, stores in states including Nebraska, New Mexico, and Arizona ran out of doughnuts, posting signs apologizing for a shortage due to a manufacturing error.

Dunkin’ dropped the “Donuts” from its brand name years ago. Now — at least in Nebraska, New Mexico and a few other states — it doesn’t have doughnuts on the shelves either.
