I asked for black, Romney, not regular!

<a href = "http://www.nytimes.com/2005/12/13/business/13doughnuts.html">Dunkin' Donuts has been bought</a> by <a href = "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlyle_Group">The Carlyle Group</a>, <a href = "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bain_Capital">Bain Capital</a>, and Thomas H. Lee Partners. Romney might hate Massachusetts, but even he can't turn his back on the goodness of Dunkies.

Dunkin' Donuts is a part of Dunkin' Brands - it is part of what the transaction involved. On the whole, it also involved Baskin Robbins and Togo's.
