Yech.
Krispy Kreme is bad enough without being non-fresh.
As long as they didn’t steal them...I don’t see where Krispy Kreme can stop them.
Any company with a shred of intelligence would try to figure out a way to expand distribution into an area with that kind of demand for your product. Maybe hire the guy who’s currently doing guerrilla marketing and legitimize the operation? Oh no, let’s shut that down and prohibit the sale of our product. “Genius”...
Nobody knew who bought them or laid them out - it's like we were visited by the doughnut fairy.
Just "Happy Wednesday" I guess.
Sometimes humans do the coolest things.
There’s nothing special about Krispy-Kreme donuts. A copy of their “recipe” is readily available from ingredients suppliers.
This kid owns the customers and the distribution - he should just tell KK to GFT and produce his own donuts.
Krispy needs to learn from this. There is an underserved market in that area. They could be raking in the bucks.
In a just world, they would make this young man the Regional Director.
He has good marketing skills, and should simply find a new source for his donuts. Plenty other Donuts in the sea!
Uhh, maybe I should rephrase that.
I bet the store he bought at was not happy about the loss in sales.
Maybe if he and his regular customers formed a Co-op.
Cinnamon/Sugar Cake Doughnut is the only way to go. If they don’t make those, they don’t get my business.
Can Oscar Mayer prevent you from selling their hot dogs at your hot dog stand? Nope. Same deal.
If he buys them they’re his to do with what he wants.
Starting in ‘74, our class sold KK donuts to raise money for our senior trip. They would arrive from Augusta every Tuesday morning, still warm. I ate so many that I can hardly look at them today. That said, I believe they still offer fund raising promotions. Perhaps the minimum order was more than this guy could deal with.
Who stopped the sale ? This is Minneapols where strange things occur.
If you owned a donut outlet and someone is buying a bunch from you. Would you stop selling to that customer because they are reselling them in another area far away from your store?
When I was i college, I used to sell used beer.
Krispy Kreme was a southern institution founded in Winston-Salem, NC, in 1937. I grew up on them. Sadly the German-owned JAB holding company bought them out in 2016. The doughnut quality has suffered since - less icing.
I like KK and DD, but I won’t go out of my way to get DD. KK I can get at the grocery store. Shipley’s I never liked...
I see Krispy Kreme donuts in grocery stores and convenience stores all the time. I know they’re not made there. What’s the problem with this guy?
Krispy Kreme is Heaven in a box.
I suspect the real problem is that KK has an under the table agreement with other donut franchises in the area not to infringe on each other’s territories. And I’ll bet if this entreprenour took this to court, he’d win.
Very bad form Krispy Kreme.
I don’t see how KK can legally stop him from selling donuts he bought. He needs to tell KK to pound sand. Once he pays KK for the donuts, they are his donuts to eat, give away, or sell to the highest bidder.
