Memorial Thursday Weekend #380.

Me, me, me!

We had our first Krispy Kreme store open in the Valley a few years years back.

The wait to get a drive thru donut was pretty crazy, the lines were more than 30-45 minutes.

Then?

Now? Closed.

They were making money hand over fist....and I don't know what happened!

The Atkins craze drove all the krispy kreme's out of business up here.

Krispy Creme was a victim of slightly overexhuberant franchising.........

About 2 years ago they started imploding on themselves. Some of the franchises were making money, but not enough of them.

We would drive by and see the hot donut sign flashing when the kids were pre-teens and we would walk in and they would give you a whole hot donut to sample...it would melt in your mouth.
