We have noticed that the area Krispy Kreme is still quite busy. Krispy Kremes are also available in the grocery store, Walmart, and the various convenience stores. We have wondered if the trouble with Krispy Kreme is their business model. When they first hit the news and were not available here, we looked into their franchise arrangements. There were, at that point, no longer any US franchises available. All new stores were promised to existing franchise holders. Further research showed that the price of a franchise was somewhere north of US$700k just to open, with no information available on percentage royalties, et al. Immediately after that, they swamped the market in every region we visited.
Add to that we stopped eating them because they really aren't that great.

Krispy Kremes are only really good hot and fresh. otherwise they are just like any other doughnut.

Want to lose weight? Eat less. Don't believe me? Go get your stomach stapled. Krispy Kreme donuts are overrated. The best donuts I've ever eaten in my life are from the King Soopers bakery. King Soopers is a supermarket chain located in the region around Colorado.
