Apparently, people started lining up yesterday morning.

(And I thought people who lined up a day in advance for a movie were dorks!)

When they opened their first location up here in Canada, I waited a week or two and went at 1AM in the morning after work one day.

I still had to wait in the drive-thru line for an hour and a half. :Q

They're opening one up over here on the westside soon too.

I've had the donuts before, I really don't see what the big deal is.

I see...

Wasn't aware that they were opening one near Tanasbourne.... that's a bit closer that SE 82nd and Johnson Creek. :)

Oh, and Krispy Kreme owns you all! :D

There has to be something good about them.

Oh, and it's doughnut, not donut. :p

So we're both right! Right on. I-205 is starting to get backed up.. (I just got home from changing my oil and Oil Can Henrys off Exit 6, in West Linn)

Not to go off topic (or is it? :p), but I hate Oil Can Henry's. Not only do they charge more than all the other oil change places, but they're always trying to up-sell you into needless repairs that their un-certified minimum wage employees aren't even qualified to do. Pisses me the hell off. And they get downright pissy when you decline their up-sells. I had one tell me that the air filter on my car should be replaced at every 3,000 mile oil change and when I mentioned that my owners manual said differently, she told me that manufacturers do that on purpose to "sell more cars."

Yeah, I've heard bad things about Oil Can Henry's. Sad, too.. because they wouldn't have to do much to be better than Jiffy Lube.
