History Of Krispy Kreme
Krispy Kreme has a mission "to make the most awesome doughnuts on the planet every single day." They also give back to communities with fundraising opportunities and philanthropic work.
Krispy Kreme got its start in North Carolina back in 1937 by a man named Vernon Rudolph. He started by selling his doughnuts to local grocery stores. But the demand would grow and those passing his bakery would ask for him to sell directly from there. Eventually, he would cut a hole and sell the doughnuts to customers on the sidewalk.
The doughnuts would go on to become an iconic sweet treat enjoyed the world over. But to begin with, the expansion led to some inconsistencies, despite using the same recipe. That led Rudolph to create a mix plant to deliver dry mix to each store.
A few years after Rudolph passed away, the company was sold to Beatrice Foods Company, but just a few years later it would be bought back by a group of early franchisees.
The company would open its first store in New York City in 1996, and expand to California in 1999. In 2001, the first international store opened in Ontario, Canada. By 2003, they expanded even further and opened their first locations outside of North America.
