Thanks for a great write up.

It seems to me that Dunkin has gained little, if anything, from the private -> public -> private -> public -> private flip-flop. They probably would've achieved the same, if not more, growth had they remained public after the first IPO. Yet they have unfortunately (?) become the prey of Wall Street.

Come to think of it, those banks, law partners, and accounting firms basically moved some paper work from one place to another and then moved them back. Zero contribution overall, yet they earned millions upon millions. This is a bizarre world.
