Guest Posted April 24, 2001 Share Posted April 24, 2001 Sal ~ I just got off the KK website after getting the address of the newest store in Denver. I have to go to Denver Wed. to get some tires for Judy's Model A and thought I would get a FEW dozen for all the folks here in Cheyenne who keep asking for them. <P>Lucky me, KK is reasonably close to my tire source. I will check with dbinger's cardiologist to see if he can have one <P>hvs <P>Bill ~ Just saw your post after finishing mine. Like in Texas, 100 miles in Wyoming/Colorado IS close. <P>Howard<p>[ 04-23-2001: Message edited by: hvs ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaxops Posted May 3, 2001 Share Posted May 3, 2001 I have lookied on in amazement, watching car-folk "wolf down" those Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Those things make my teeth hurt. Since they are "mummified' in sugar, they probably would last through a whole old-car tour! <BR>They certainly have a loyal following. I just watch from the sidelines now!

Guest Posted May 3, 2001 Share Posted May 3, 2001 Dpwn here in Miami they sell Krispy Kremes in the Hess gas stations and also in teh Winn Dixie Supermarkets ... I never buy those though ...... I like getting them hot and fresh ....but even here in Miami there is only one krispy kreme and its 30 miles from my house .... there is also one in Ft lauderdale ... but of course that one is farther. Its one of the best drives you can make for some munchies at two in the morning ...............mmmmmmmmmm....dozen donuts and a half gallon of milk. How simply we can be satisfied sometimes.

JanK Posted May 9, 2001 Share Posted May 9, 2001 These Krispy Kremes are everywhere! I took a break from chores the other day and turned on the tv for a few minutes. The first thing I see is a report on an unexplained spike in the Krispy Kreme stock price.

Guest SalG (Sal Grenci) Posted November 19, 2001 Share Posted November 19, 2001 Profits increase by 68% for Krispy Kreme Doughnuts<BR>Profits in Krispy Kreme Doughnuts's fiscal third-quarter rose 68 percent as the company opened stores and consumers ate more doughnuts. Net income rose to $6.48 million, or 11 cents a share, in the quarter ended Oct. 28, from $3.85 million, or 7 cents, in the year-earlier period. Revenue rose 28 percent, to $99.8 million the company said yesterday. Krispy Kreme added 10 stores in California, Pennsylvania and other states, bringing the total number of stores to 198 at the end of the quarter. Krispy Kreme's sales were not hurt by a decline in consumer spending as much as other retailers' were because comfort foods like doughnuts are appealing when the economy slows, analysts said. Krispy Kreme is based in Winston-Salem, N.C. (Bloomberg News) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ply33 Posted November 20, 2001 Share Posted November 20, 2001 critterpainter ~~ they opened a Krispy Kreme in Mountain View, CA a little over a year ago. My wife and I went once to see what the fuss was about. I personally don't think they live up to the hype.<P>But hvs is apparently addicted to them.

Guest Posted November 20, 2001 Share Posted November 20, 2001 You're right Tod. A 50 year old habit is hard to break and I got hooked on them my freshman year in college [1951] at the Univ. of NC.

progoofoff Posted November 23, 2001 Share Posted November 23, 2001 Here`s a couple of hints.<BR>The taste of a cold KK is completly different<BR>from that of a hot one.<BR>However,if they are not fresh try heating two at a time in a mircowave with the setting on mid range for 8 to 10 seconds. They will be near`bout the same as freshly baked. From the freezer it takes about 30 second with the same mircowave settings. They will be less than near`bout but still tasty.<BR>Oh yeah, when they went public, the price doubled around here.<BR>Bob<BR>W-S, NC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 Unregistered - are you afraid to be identified as a KK hater? <P>FYI - everyone should take a look at the following old DF thread: <A HREF="http://www.aaca.org/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=001763" TARGET=_blank>http://www.aaca.org/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=001763</A> <P>Maryland is awash in KK availability. They are offered in most supermarkets here. As a mass marketed consumer product they are not the best donuts on earth - kind of greasy, sugary and more than a day old. Well that's my opinion. I've tasted them fresh and they're OK, but mass marketed NOT! <P>I still think that the KK Legend is mostly hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 15, 2001 Share Posted December 15, 2001 Never paid attention to Cat In The Hat! That was for the younger crowd in our house. Now I know what I missed. You ought to try the parade. To me it is a sure sign that winter is over - all that festive energy and all those drunken spectators. Quite an experience!

Terry Bond Posted December 16, 2001 Share Posted December 16, 2001 Ok, we've decided that there is a cult following for KK's, and I can probably conclude at this point that anyone who doesnt own some stock in either Harley Davidson or KK is borderline un-America. Got a co-worker who lives just around the corner and brings in some hot KKs once each week so I have no probs getting by regular dose. But, there is one other treat out there that only a very select few get to regularly enjoy - <P>WHITE CASTLE HAMBURGERS!!!! I understand they don't franchise <P>Waiting patiently for the meet or tour that features a Friday nite social with some of those gems! Anybody else out there similarly addicted? <P>Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ccar Posted December 17, 2001 Share Posted December 17, 2001 We were shopping in the northern part of Wilmington DE this morning and passed the only KK store in the state. A quick Uee and we were enjoying hot of the press KK's and coffee. Bought a few for later in the day. What a great start to a great day, wish we were closer.<P>Bought a KK coffee mug and picked up several paper KK hats. Will bring those to Philadelphia for you guys attending..<P>Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
