Hey, they have them in America, now. Michigan, Ohio, New York, Illinois, and Indiana at least. Probably more.
The donuts are different here, though. I'm not sure they're made on site.

I've heard rumors of them coming to St. Louis... do they have poutine on the menu?

After I graduated from OSU, I worked at a Tim Hortons for a few months in Columbus. When I first started, the donuts were baked somewhere in town and then a van distributed them to each of the sites to sell. Which meant around the time I got off (around 2pm) the donut changeover was happening and I could take home a sackful of half day old donuts if I wanted. Soon afterwards there was a changeover though where the donuts were shipped in parbaked and finished in a oven on site, so they're half fresh, but half not. All the toppings and fillings are applied at the store though.
Most particularly I love their muffins. I'm always super sad when they're sold out of chocolate chip muffins when I go through the drive thru.

There were some in Rhode Island but Dunkin just crushed them most places.

It was a canadian finalist but they brought it over here in Wavy instead of the canadian version that was kettle cooked. Might just be a limited edition or test.

Krispy Kreme is pretty one note. Yeasty glazed donuts. They're good, but that's it. Dunkin Donuts has dozens of types of donuts ranging from very mediocre to fancy-delicious. For football games I'd buy two dozen 'assorted' for parties and it was a roulette. Pink frosted ones were always winners though.

Fractured Prune is NOTHING like the others - first of all they're cake donuts... not to mention customizing....

Krispy Kreme has branched out quite a bit, they offer a ton of different kinds of donuts. Now, they're all still basically small, round donuts (no longjohns or cinnamon rolls or anything) but they have filled donuts, offer both cake & yeast donuts, etc. Tons of different flavors nowadays.

Hawaiian thing. It was a burger topped with an egg and brown gravy. There are other variations of it that have spam and shit and served in a bowl with rice. Basically put a fucking egg and gravy on something.
Had the Hawaiian BBQ pork burger (top left) and the pineapple pie (bottom right). Were quite good. But what the hell is loco moco?

That may be true. I've never actually been in a fractured prune. My only experience with them was the weekly boxes of donuts we'd get in the office. They generally between Dunkin and Fractured Prune, and they always seemed pretty identical to me. It's possible the people doing the choosing/buying were purposely getting similar ones from each place, though.
Even if they're cake donuts, I still think a cake donut from one chain tastes the same as one from another.

Cake does tend to taste the same from one to another - I didn't think Dunkin did cake though... shrug, I hate Cake donuts generally though. (Although FP is the exception to the rule for me - I can actually stand theirs at least with the topping choices I like, I'm sure theirs plain would be just as awful though)

I know they're a religious bunch that run it, so Lent factors in, but seems weird for Chik-Fil-A to do fish to me - I'd assume it was going to be awful.
