I can see why. After all the hype, my office has reverted to buying donuts from Safeway. Much better and not 95% air.

Hmmm ... help Krispy Kreme's bottom line or see my toes again. Help Krispy Kreme's bottom line or see my toes again. Tough choice.

I don't think they can compete with Dunkin Doughnuts in the northeastern states.

Gee, that's about the same time that Clinton had his heart attack right?


Seriously, however, I've never understood the people that treated these damn donuts as some sort of manna from heaven. I can't count the number of times that people at work would offer me a donut, I'd say "no thanks" and then they'd sing song "They're Krispee Kreeemmes...", as if that somehow made them something more than deep fried sugared pastry...

Ah, the effects of a free market economy. Market saturation can kill your unique product. I guess that Krispy didn't factor in the overkill ratio. I knew their days were numbered when they opened a store at the Mall of America in Minnesota.

Bummer. Their factory here in Sarasota/Bradenton is nice because they have a little store where you can buy doughnuts at really cheap prices. I hope they don't go out of business ;\

KK's problems are simple, it over-expanded too quickly and relied upon its "FAD" status to continue. Now don't get me wrong, I grew up in NC and KK has been part of my life experience since I was a child, and I missed them when I moved North.

However when I was a child the doughnuts were far larger than the little overpriced ones they sell today. Now there is still nothing quite like that fresh and hot KK doughnut.. but they are smaller than competetors and overpriced.

Once a KK doughnut has cooled its not much different than any other doughnut out there, other than the fact its smaller and costs more.

KK needs to slow its expansion, get back to basics and its core... and be a doughnut company again, instead of a company that is selling franchises primarily. They do that they will be ok.
