United States
There were many stores in the
Pennsylvania and
Ohio region that did not convert to Dunkin' Donuts, mostly due to being too close to existing Dunkin' Donuts locations at the time. Nine Mister Donut owners formed a cooperative to continue to receive bulk pricing on materials. These stores are now known as
Donut Connection and serve the same menu and recipes as Mister Donut once did. There are hundreds of Donut Connection franchises in the eastern United States.
[1] A handful of businesses retained the Mister Donut name. Between 8-10 locations remain listed under this name on various business directories online. Several are completely out of business, and others now have Dunkin' Donuts at the former Mister Donut locations. Only one location can be verified to remain in business under the Mister Donut name. It is located in
Godfrey,
Illinois.
Japan
In Japan, Mister Donut is owned by
Duskin Co., Ltd. Mister Donut is the largest Donut franchise chain in Japan. Many Mister Donut stores in Japan house
Yamucha sub-stores that serve a small variety of
dim sum. These sub-stores are usually advertised with the phrase "San Francisco Chinatown," reinforcing the chain's American image even while selling Chinese food
