The original Dunkin' Donuts opened in 1950 in Quincy, Massachusetts.
The inside of the store is pretty small. It looks like your typical Dunkin' Donuts.
There are a few elements inside that are part of the rebrand, like the forward-facing bakery case.
But a lot of the food is still kept on shelves behind the counter.
The original store's menus were recently upgraded to the digital menu boards that most other Dunkin' stores have.
And it has the new espresso machines set up, though they're hard to see behind the counter.
The grab-and-go section is pretty small. It's mostly cold drinks, and there isn't a lot of food to choose from.
The original Dunkin' has a pick-up area for mobile and in-store orders. There isn't anything designated for mobile orders specifically.
There are only two small tables in the back of the store. Hanging on the wall are framed photos and documents from when the store first opened, before it was remodeled to look like most other Dunkin's.
The store of the future, just a few minutes away from the original store, looks drastically different on the outside.
The store itself is much bigger and brighter than the original store. It has a more modern feel to it.
And there is a lot more seating.
The store of the future uses only the front-facing bakery cases, instead of leaving some food behind the counter.
Nothing used to prepare food is hidden from view at this Dunkin'. It also has the new espresso machines ...
The store of the future has a designated mobile-order pickup area ...
... and a separate mobile order drive-thru lane.
The grab-and-go selection is more than double the size as at the original store.
The original Dunkin' has nostalgic elements like the signage and photos, but it's clear how drastically different it is from Dunkin's store of the future down the road.
The store of the future was bigger, brighter, and more high-tech than the original, which felt like any other Dunkin' store.
