Krispy Kreme Returns
Two Sugar Queens
It has been a couple of years since Tucson had Krispy Kreme Donuts in town. It used to be a traditional run to Phoenix to pick up dozens of Krispy Kreme doughnuts for any special occasion meeting here in Tucson. Someone would make the “Run”. Then we got our own Krispy Kreme shops here in Tucson and there were lines, long lines all the time outside the shops.
Suddenly They were Gone
Almost overnight they were gone. The Franchise wasn’t financially stable and all the Krispy Kreme shops closed overnight. The sugar fix was hard to live without. The real tragedy. All the Krispy Kreme’s in Arizona closed at the same time. No more going to Phoenix for “The Run”.
Now They’re Back
But this morning, Krispy Kreme is back in Tucson. Who would have thought during the height of the recession we would have donuts. I WOULD FOR ONE. When is a better time to provide people with comfort food and sugar highs than during an economic downturn. Counter intuitive? Not at all. Perfect timing.
The Girls (that would be Barbara and World Traveler) were up at 3:45 and made the trip to Krispy Kreme to be one of the first 100 in line. They were and each received a card good for 1 cup of coffee and 1 doughnut for a year. Yep, 365 donuts and 365 cups of coffee. AND FREE WIFI.
The store is located near Cortaro Farms and I-10 at the 246 exit. It is in front of the Walmart and where It’s A Grind used to be. I don’t have an exact address, just follow your nose and the traffic. Krispy Kreme and In-N-Out Burger less than a block apart. Who would have thought.
