Why are O-Nuts made in Spain?

Post by Long slender neck »

It was reported at the recent Fans Forum that O-Nuts are made in Spain then transported to England and the club doesnt make any profit on them even though they are sold for £2 each.

I dont understand why you would have some donuts made in another country and shipped here, all for no profit. Its idiotic.

I havent tasted an O-Nut but I doubt its anything special and they certainly wont be anywhere near fresh. Theres no way I'm spending two quid on a donut unless its very special.

Are all Dunkin Donuts made in Spain?

Its also terrible for the environment.

I bet Percy Ingles could do you a much better deal Nigel.

This bleating about not making any money out of it has a familiar ring.

There is no distribution centre in the UK, as there are a handful of locations in England (none in Scotland Wales or NI). Whereas there about 60 locations in Spain and most are in Catalonia

Spanish Doughnuts (and cakes) are much superior quality to their stodgy British counterparts.

As is most Spanish food generally!

The onuts are made in Spain so people can fly out on factory visits and be in the sunshine.
