Krispy Kreme is an American fast-food chain that mainly sells pastries such as donuts , but also coffee and milkshake-like drinks.
Krispy Kreme was founded by Vernon Rudolph in Winston-Salem , North Carolina in 1937 . Rudolph had previously bought a secret recipe for making yeast donuts and then sold them to local stores. A little later he switched to offering his goods directly from his bakery. Today it is typical of Krispy Kreme that the manufacturing area is separated from the sales area within a store by a large pane. This enables customers to follow the production of the donuts. In those shops that also make donuts, there is a large, round, illuminated plaque. Whenever it lights up red, when you buy donuts you get an " Original glazed " fresh off the tape for free.
In the 1960s, Krispy Kreme, which until then had only had a local presence, began opening several stores in the southeastern United States . In the 1990s, Krispy Kreme also expanded into the rest of the United States, as well as Canada , Mexico , South Korea , Great Britain , Japan, Turkey and Australia . As of the 2013 annual report, there were 773 stores (including franchisees) and the company employed around 4,300 people.
The company was listed on the stock exchange from 2000. Initially on NASDAQ , but from 2001 on the New York Stock Exchange . In early May 2016, JAB Holding announced that it would take over Krispy Kreme for 1.35 billion US dollars . After the takeover, the stock exchange listing was discontinued later in the year.
The Krispy Kreme Donuts chain started its first attempt in Germany in the Main-Taunus-Zentrum near Frankfurt am Main . There the yeast rings were offered for the first time in Germany from October 23, 2017 to November 4, 2017.
