I thought I saw them in the boxes in Walmart on our last trip down. As was mentioned, I too did not want that many so I didn't buy them. Still drool though thinking about the ones I have had up north.

Just make sure when you eat the doughnuts, you eat them in pairs - never an odd number. That way you're spreading the load out evenly................

![]() People were standing outside in line at 6:00 AM in 15 degree wind chill for the Grand Opening to receive ONE free doughnut. The place is packed and HOT DOUGHNUT sign is always lit. The new owner must be smiling all the way to the bank. I went to Krispy Kreme this morning and got a dozen off the line. My girlfriend and I consumed six before we knew it. ($6.99 a dozen) They are the BOMB! ![]() |

There was a plan in large cities to put the stores in high crime areas... This would dramatically increase police presence!

A few years ago, they finally came to LA and made such a big deal about it that the first store had lines around the block waiting to get the first donuts. Unfortunately, we had much better donut shops and most of us were terribly disappointed with KK's. I think they opened other stores but not to the great fanfare as the first one. Haven't had any donuts in TV as I've been on a diet,,, ![]()

As soon as it's light out, I start eating. ![]() Back to the topic. I just saw an article that I can't find now about a fundraiser that is a 5 mile run by college students, (NC Wolfpack), that requires you run 2.5 miles to a Krispy Kreme location and have to eat twelve donuts and then run the other 2.5 miles back. Sounds challenging but I think I will pass. It's not the run that would stop me but eating twelve donuts. ![]() They are great donuts and one in TV would be nice.

At the end of the race, everyone waited for the last "runner" to arrive, and they all went over the finish line together, directly into the local pub. There was one guy who wore "Rambo" style X-shaped belts across his chest, lined with snickers bars and twinkies for easy access. ....But back to the topic of Krispy Kreme.....

Sorry, but I'll have to be the dissenter here. I have enough sources for donuts here with Dunkin Donuts and Publix as well as the few new leads I've picked up in this thread. So I can have all the donuts I don't need without there being a KK added to the list. Actually, I've never had a KK donut that I know of even though there was one in Latham NY not too far to go to get any. They, like in Syracuse, only lasted about 3 years before going bye-bye!
![]() Ummm... donut!

Another vote for a Krispy's in The Villages!
The closest actual Krispy Kreme, apart from stuff sold at grocery stores, gas stations, etc, is in Gainesville. Oh, and if you are actually in a Krispy's, they make a glazed blueberry doughnut that is almost as good as the originals. Yum. |

KK is alive and well here in NC, their birthplace. Each year, here in Raleigh, they have the Krispy Kreme Challenge. It is a 4 mile (or thereabouts) race with a twist. You run from NC State to the Krispy Kreme (2 miles) in downtown Raleigh, there you eat a DOZEN donuts and then run (or waddle) back within an hour. Last year there were 7500 people registered for this race. This year, it is totally full already even though the race isn't for 2 more weeks. The organizers are a bunch of NC State alumni who started this race with 10 people in 2004. Last year, they raised 100 thousand dollars for NC Children's Hospital. Here is a link to a story from last year's race http://www.krispykremechallenge.com/...-puff-and-stuf Last edited by pauld315; 01-16-2012 at 11:36 PM. Reason: clarification |

When I worked in Ocala, had Tasty O donuts hot out the oven and they beat KK by a mile. They have a store in Belleview but I bet they aren't as good as the one in Ocala. May have to make an early morning run to Ocala one of these days for some but have to get there early as they often sell out by 9 am.
