DAUGHNUT CHAIN FOUNDED ON THIS DAY

doughnuts

Krispy Kreme founder Vernon Rudolph "bought a secret yeast-
raised doughnut recipe from a New Orleans French chef."

According to Krispy Kreme’s website, Rudolph set up a doughnut
factory in present-day Old Salem in
Winston-Salem, North Carolina,
and began to sell doughnuts to area grocery stores on this day in
1937.

"The delicious scents of cooking doughnuts drifted into the
and passersby stopped to ask if they could buy hot doughnuts."

Rudolph created the first Krispy Kreme storefront by cutting a
hole in the wall of his building, allowing people to buy a glazed
doughnut right on the sidewalk.

Now called Frankmobiles, a fleet of them will hit the highways
nationwide this summer and will have painted lettering that
