Taco Belll, as Polonius rightly observed 3 years ago, was one of companies which started business in Poland but left after a few years.

I remember DunkinDonuts many years ago in Krakow. Closed up very fast.

I don`t remember ot.

But you are right. Dunking Donuts are another loser in Poland. Poles prefered their traditional pączki

to artificial stuff served in DD:

Yuk!

pgtx,I never knew there was once a Dunkin Donuts in Poland.They are wicked popular in New England,but here is where DD got it's start.Much more popular than Starbucks.

jimmyH,Boston.

Pam,believe it or not most people here go for the coffee not the doughnuts.Their doughnuts are definitely nothing special.

There was King Pie in Warsaw for a while. People didn't really know what it was about.

you are talking about fake food- not real food. good thing they have disappeared. I heard there is a Mexican restaurant that just opened next to the Mexican embassy in Warsaw- that is what you want---not process garbage with chemical additives.

A fast food chain from the US. If you haven't heard of it, I assume it isn't a nationwide one. It appeared in Warsaw about 10 years or so ago and vanished quickly.

Yes they were in warsaw also I used to go there everyday in morning ,i think till 2004 and they shut down I bet if they came in now poles changed habbits,never did I see a pole walking with a paper cup of coffee or sipping in car which now is a common sight.c stores like on BP,orlen,shell stations are lined up in morning to get themselves a cup o coffee.Like burger king left and is coming back also.Starbucks doing great with free wifi and 1.75 refills of coffee:))
