Today is a special day for world-famous company that started right here in our town. Krispy Kreme Doughnuts is 75 years old today!
Krispy Kreme started in Winston-Salem on July 13, 1937, with the first store being on South Main Street. This is now part of historic Old Salem. The doughnuts were originally sold to grocery stores, but as they were being baked, the yummy scent could be smelled up and down the street. So many people came asking if they could buy a doughnut that a hole was cut in the wall so doughnuts could be sold individually. That was 75 years ago and now there are Krispy Kreme stores in 38 states and 22 countries.
I love the original, plain glazed ones, but earlier this year I discovered they made a red velvet doughnut! Boy was that tasty!
What's your favorite Krispy Kreme doughnut?
