Dennis reports: Help is on the way though, a new Krispy Kreme opened in the Loop last Friday. Salvation is here.
When I lived in Atlanta, Krispy Kremes were everywhere and nobody went nutso over them. Here, though, they're like this weird urban cult. There are six of them in Manhattan and they're always over-run. Also, people speak of them only with great awe in their voice. There's one in Penn Station. My boss has season tickets to the Knicks (who play in Madison Square Garden, above Penn Station) and brings a box to the office after games. People get here EARLY for them. Huh?
Posted by mikewolf at July 30, 2002 10:19 AMYeah, what's up with Krispy Kremes? We just got our first one in Denver about a year ago. The first two months, people lined up for 10 blocks just to get a Krispy Kreme. I don't get it.
Sometimes people will bring boxes in to work, but they're always the glazed raised donuts. They're mostly air. There's no chocolate. What's the point?

I read an article a few months back about how Krispy Kreme has carefully cultivated its "cult" following. (What alliteration!)
By the way, hi Tiffany!

Posted by: Tiffany on July 30, 2002 11:08 PMSeems I jumped the gun ... the KK has NOT opened yet. I found out yesterday as I made the trek across the Loop. For now the crappy Dunkin' will have to do.

Posted by: Dennis on August 1, 2002 01:30 PMI certainly know people who freakout when the "Hot" sign is lit up. (For you uninitiated, that means KK has fresh hot donuts out.)

Posted by: Meredith on August 1, 2002 03:41 PMWhen we were doing the very first work on our house, we pulled up five layers of vinyl flooring in the dining room. Below the five layers of vinyl was a layer of newspaper. One of the articles was about the opening of the brand new KK on Ponce de Leon. KK was making news back in 1965 in ATL.
