Krispy Kreme Donuts Returning to Colorado Springs
The Krispy Kreme will be moving into the old Village Inn building at 5790 South Carefree Circle.
Krispy Kreme plans to construct a 3,547-square-foot outlet, at 5790 S. Carefree Circle, where an empty Village Inn is, according to a proposal submitted to city government planners.
The project’s application is under review by City Planning Staff. Krispy Kreme previously had a store by The Citadel Mall, built in 2002. However, the store closed just 4 years later in 2006.
Founded in 1937, by Vernon Rudolph in North Carolina, Krispy Kreme steadily gained popularity, and there are now over 1,000 stores worldwide. There are 3 stores in Colorado, all of which are in the Denver metro region.
Eden Hanson, a Doherty High School junior, offered her input on the news,“ I don’t care, I don’t like donuts, they’re high in sugar.”
Jorge Lopez, another junior, gave his opinion as well,“ I’m excited. I like donuts, [because] they’re good.”
