Looks like Jayson Gonzalez is getting a sweet deal after all.

Krispy Kreme is reportedly giving the Minnesota college student 500 boxes of doughnuts after initially asking the 21-year-old to shut down his business of buying and reselling boxes of doughnuts.

Krispy Kreme did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request for comment, but in a statement to Business Insider, the brand said that once it learned Gonzalez was putting the money he made from the doughnut sales toward his goal of graduating from college debt-free, the company wanted to help.

"Our main concern is that the doughnuts Jayson sells maintain our high product quality standards, given the distance and manner in which he is transporting and distributing them. So, we are happy to work with Jayson as an independent operator to ensure consistent delivery of our high-quality doughnuts to our fans in Minnesota," the chain said.

"We wish Jayson great success and we're thrilled to help him achieve it by donating 500 dozen doughnuts when he restarts his business."

A realization that KK really has no legal standing to prevent this student from reselling something he legally bought? Also a reaction to the backlash KK was probably getting.

Yep. Surprised so many here yesterday were of the mind that KK was within their legal rights to do anything once he legally purchased the product. Also, KK cant be held legally responsible for what he does with his own property later on. That brand protection and liability excuse was nonsense. Glad this was resolved quickly.

They need to fire the lawyer that advised them to send out the cease and desist letter. After he paid for the donuts they were his to sell, eat or give away. Any first year law student would know that.

I suppose they couldn’t find any embarrassing tweets he’d made a few years ago, so gave him all their leftover donuts that day.

“...500 dozen doughnuts...”

I can hear the arteries clogging, from here.

It wasn’t too hard to figure out. We have local hot dog vendors that re-sell Zweigle Hots...and they make an outrageous profit.

Our main concern is......that we ever made the phone call to tell him a big fat lie.

That’s how entrepreneurs are born. Think of what life lessons kids today lose out on by not being able to have lemonade stands because some dumb-ass city council says they dont have a business permit. Pfffft.

I agree, I guess. But why can sports entities restrict the resale of tickets from someone who legitimately bought them?

Whatever you think of Krispy Kreme, maintaining product quality is a legitimate concern, and this seems like a good solution. Set him up as a distributor officially, and both sides win.

Another stupid move by a company. Knee jerk and then turn around and do what they should of done in the first place.
