Krispy Kreme makes its return to the valley. This new location opened at 5:30am this morning and had all the usual hoopla that comes with Grand Openings. Free doughnuts....prizes....news crew...and some surprising cold weather for AZ....LOL. This location is not going to be customer friendly for sitting down and shooting the breeze while you enjoy a delicious doughnut and possibly some coffee. This location has the popular HOT DOUGHNUT sign because they make the doughnuts on-site. It is really starting to look like all the Krispy Kreme Franchises that are coming back are making there doughnuts on site. I think this is a very good business model that will allow Krispy Kreme to succeed and hopefully not fall victim to another collapse by trying to cut corners or have doughnuts delivered from a central location. This location is right off the expressway and has a drive-thru with 2 or 3 tables...restrooms and the kitchen. So it will be perfect for that quick pick-up for your co-workers or staff and then jump right back on the expressway and head on your merry way. Speaking of merry way.....Eat, Drink, and be Merry my Friends!!!!!!
