Does it Get Any Better?

Not only are they re-opening one store, but it's the store closest to us... According to this AZ Republic article this morning, those hot glazed morsels of heaven will be available once again at our own Krispy Kreme store at Superstition:

Push your scales aside. It looks like Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Inc. is coming back, but Tempe residents might have to drive a little farther this time.

The company reportedly is opening a store May 6 at 6626 E. Superstition Springs Blvd. in Mesa, according to Heather Gray, a Mesa spokesperson.

Officials with Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Inc. in Winston-Salem, N.C. could not be reached for comment late Wednesday. It is not known if more stores will open.

But Gray said the city's Revenue Collections Operations License Office was told that at least the one store in east Mesa will open May 6.

Doughnut lovers were stunned last August 11 when all the eight Krispy Kreme stores in the state, including a popular shop at Arizona Mills Mall in Tempe, abruptly closed.

Some other time I'll give you my take (opinionated but not necessarily based in fact nor experience) on why they suffered their financial doldrums; but for now, I'm looking forward to the re-opening. I'll be watching for the light that goes on to signal the availability of hot glazed doughnuts.
