The Delicious Krispy Kreme Doughnuts started on July 13, 1937 when Vernon Rudolph bought a secret yeast raised doughnut recipe from a French chef in New Orleans (KrispyKreme.com). He rented out a building to make the doughnuts and sold them to local grocery stores (KrispyKreme.com). The first “drive thru” at Krispy Kreme started with the scent of the doughnuts drifting in the air as people walked by. They would ask if they could buy a doughnut so he cut a whole in the wall outside the building and started selling doughnuts to customers (KrispyKreme.com). A lot of things have changed with this franchise throughout the years, starting with the logo, to the hot light, to the different kinds of doughnuts they make. From the start, Krispy Kreme has become one of the best doughnut shops in the world.
