Donut Shops

Dawn Enterprises provides the perfect solution to outdoor litter for donut shops across the country. We create a harmonious balance between appearance and functionality. Our beautiful natural aggregate trashcans and ashtrays will match any décor. Instead of an ugly Dumpster or plastic trash bin, astound your patrons with the ultimate in trash etiquette. Standard colors offered are Sun Gold and Soft Gray.

Now, everybody loves coffee and donuts but very few people have the time to sit down and enjoy them. Thus, drive-thru windows experience more traffic than ever before. Imagine, you roll up to the window and the cashier hands you a coffee, your donuts, and about ten more napkins than you really wanted. You look and realize there is coffee dripping down the side of the cup and you would rather not have it on your lap. Grabbing a few of the napkins, you wipe away the threat with great success. Now imagine this; you drive forward, roll down your window and toss those napkins into a trashcan equipped with a drive-thru chute extension from Dawn Enterprises. That's 35 gallons of garbage can with a rainproof lid and a drive-thru extender to better serve the customers. We call it practical, but donut shops call it perfect.

State, Federal and Local Government has recently passed many no-smoking laws. These force smokers to head outside if they want to enjoy a cigarette with their coffee and donuts. While it keeps the smoke out of the building, it also creates what we call a "butt" problem. An entrance or sidewalk literally covered with unsightly cigarette butts. There are only two solutions to this problem. A nuclear winter or smoking urn from Dawn Enterprises. We have eight different ashtrays to choose from. These stand-alone cigarette urns are all self-draining. This means any precipitation Mother Nature offers will not puddle up in the top and leave you with an absolute mess. We also offer several combination models. The ash and trash, as we call it, gives you the ultimate in versatility. An ashcan up top for the cigarettes coupled with 12 gallons of garbage pail down below for coffee cups and empty cigarette packs. Not satisfied yet? Add a non-smoking logo to the front of any ashtray. Let your customers know that you care about the appearance of your donut shop.

Let's face it; competition out there is tough. Dunkin Donuts, Bess Eaton, The Whole Donut, Tim Horton's, Krispy Kreme and, of course, the main street USA donut shops. With Dawn Enterprises, you can stand out. Let us put your logo on the trashcans and ashtrays you order. We can turn any camera-ready artwork into a custom logo. Do your customer's know who you are?

Our self-watering planters and concrete planters provide a convenient place for plants, eliminating the need for landscaping. They can be placed on the pavement in front of your store, decorating a normally bland space. Our planters and tubs protect plants from being trampled and when full, weigh over 300 lbs., preventing them from being moved or knocked over. However, when empty, they weigh considerably less and can easily be moved by two people.

Our concrete planters come in 3 sizes: 3' (600 lbs.), 4' (1100 lbs.), and 7' (4000 lbs.). Due to the size of the planters, they provide excellent security barriers. We offer an array of colors, from our basic terracotta, natural and beige to crimson red, dark khaki and moss green. See our custom color palette for all of the color options.
