Retail update: Green Tango, SoDur Dunkie's open shop

Apparently in 2008, the holiday season is also the season for store openings, with two such items to report.

First, a BCR reader reports that Dunkin' Donuts has in fact opened at the new Harris Teeter-helmed shopping center at NC 54 and NC 751, providing the Bull City's second outlet for the coffee and baked goods chain. Debates over local versus national coffee aside, it gives a second option for those somehow hooked on the Massachusetts-based chain's java. (Liquid crack, we tell ya....)

Second, an opening that is strictly local: salad-maker Green Tango today opened their second Durham outlet in the Pavilion at Lakeview shopping center just off Duke's West Campus. As we noted here a few weeks ago, Green Tango's tenure at Northgate Mall ended with their lease this fall, making the Lakeview location the salad shop's second (Shannon Rd. being the first.) Online/text-message ordering aren't available yet for the second shop, though look for those to be added shortly.

Do you actually drink black Dunkin Donuts coffee? My theory is that it's liquid crack only because the employees pour lots and lots of cream and sugar--for the black coffee drinker such as myself, nothing special! Plus, they look at you funny if you want it black. Or at least they did in Boston! I'm sticking with Bean Traders.

I am addicted to Green Tango salads and happy they continue at Shannon Rd. I keep trying different combos but my old favorite is cobb salad with spinach instead of lettuce. Yum!!! and they have a nice sunset view, too.
