The first of a proposed 14 new Dominican Republic Krispy Kreme doughnut shops opened its doors
in Santo Domingo on Tuesday. For investors, this KKD stock move may be a sign not only of global expansion but of a perhaps slow and marked return to the former glory days at Krispy Kreme.
Krispy Kreme franchisee Dominspec, S.A is operating the store, the first in the country, in the center of Santo Domingo on the popular and tourist-trafficked Winston Churchill Avenue. The additional 13 stores are planned for the next five years, according to the franchisee, to feature 17 varieties (its signature glaze included) of the freshly made doughnuts. More.
