Dawn Donuts is a doughnut chain begun in Jackson, Michigan.

[clarification needed] Dawn Donuts was founded in Flint by franchise owner Arthur Hurand in 1958 with a store on Detroit Street in Flint, Michigan.

At this time, the chain consisted of over 60 stores, and was owned by Arthur's son, Gary.

The conversion doubled Dunkin Donuts' presence in Michigan.
