Its a sad sad day here in Tucson and across AZ. Krispy Kreme has shut down most of their locations here. No mroe delicious warm sugary morsels at 2am after a ngiht of drinking. No more waking up to a dozen and a cup of coffee. Life just isnt worth living anymore...

Good. They should close them all. A 24-hour donut store is bad for the health of America.

Sux for the people working there. I haven't been to a KK in like 2 years tho. They're good, but terrible for you.

As compared to?

Some other chains and usually anything locally made.

Most people act like KK doughnuts are the second coming.

Also: Chain places don't seem to fare as well in Tucson as most other places.

I know the Rigel group quite well. They've been in trouble for quite some time.

Actually surprised it took them this long to close down.

Yep, all closed in Phoenix too. The thing that sucks is people showed up for work, and there was a sign on the door saying they are closed. No one even told the employees. Pretty sh*tty thing to do.

I agree.

I love fresh doughnuts. i tried KK and was not impressed. there is a local baker that is far better. heck a friend of mine makes better doughnuts then KK (just wish she lived next door to me heh).

I have one of their stores about 3 miles away. The last time I was there I noticed that 90% of the employees were grossly overweight, I was amused :p That was at least 6 months ago, I have no desire to buy from them any time soon.

Meh. KK donuts are overrated. They were cool when they were novelty in only some isolated locations but once they started putting up multiple stores all across the country, I knew they would go down.

If they do that, cops are going to be more pissed off therefore more tickets during the late night hours. :(

Nonsense. The police have to have SOMEWHERE to hang out...


hey folded here a couple of years ago. Didn't bother me in the slightest, as I've never understood why people go ape-sh*t over their air-filled sugat puffs anyway. if I'm gonna eat doughnuts, I want GOOD doughnuts...

Their lemon filled and glazed are the best of their kind that I've had. The only problem with KK is that they don't sell powdered chocolate creme :)Drool;) doughnuts like some local places do.
