No more Krispy Kreme doughnuts in the Tri-Cities. Rather sad.

My last two times home, I flirted with the idea of heading over to Kingsport for a couple of dozen lemon-filled donuts....now, I wish I had!

I think the new place will be ok, just have to get use to the new name. they said the kept all the same flavors and same prices and tweeked the recipe and made them softer and sweeter

could just be me but went there for the first time since the change and looks like they have cut down on flavors and just isn't as good.

When they were franchised Krispy Kreme they received their mixes directly from Krispy Kreme (not made on site). That ended when the contract ended. So the current products aren't related to Krispy Kreme products at all.
