As far as I saw, they have succeeded in blanketing the area.
One of the things I really wanted to eat back there was one of their
chocolate cake doughnuts. Didn't manage to.

Our much-heralded local Krispy Kreme, built from the ground up after a
Pizza Hut was demolished in a busy corner shopping area, lasted about a
year.

I had exactly one of their donuts which a neighbor brought by still
warm. I wasn't impressed, but then I don't like raised donuts.

OB "cooking": One of the most sinful things I have ever eaten in my
carefree younger days is a plain cake doughnut split like a bagel,
toasted lightly till crisp, and eaten spread with cream cheese. It's a
wonderful blend of flavors and textures, and almost pure fat. :-(
