Good riddance. Their doughnuts suck.

Did somone there pee in your coffee or something?
They have great doughnuts!
Highly overrated.
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.
They aren't even real doughnuts. They're 90% air.

Real doughnuts are "cake" doughnuts, like from Dunkin' Donuts or from a local bakery. "Raised" doughnuts are universally awful and KK makes some of the worst. Plus, they can't even make a decent jelly ball.

Entemann's stuff is just fine with me. No partially hydrogenated oils either.

I just drove past the one by El Con Mall this afternoon, it looked open to me. I heard they were closing down too, but I'm not sure if I entirely believe that yet.

I only ever went for the free stuff. I don't really like donuts that much.

There were KK donuts the first rest stop or two of the NYC Century (100 mile bike ride) last year. That was awesome! What better time to justify a KK donut or three than on a day when one burns 7000+ calories? :D

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...

I went to the El Con store on Broadway many times but I still like Dunking Donuts better. ;)

Agreed. I never understood why people prefered them. Might as well spoon melted sugar in your mouth.
