For several years here in Syracuse the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and other organizations would arrange for Krispy Kreme donuts to be delivered from the Rochester area as weekly fundraisers, and they sold so well, there was a groundswell here for a Krispy Kreme of our own. The company listened, and built a large one. It was wildly popular for a few months, and lasted for about three years or so, but went out of business. The demand just wasn't maintained. The glazed donuts are great, but there is a lot of competition, especially the lower priced donuts from the large grocery chains like Wegmans and Price Chopper.
