Back in 70s they had excursions like "little people business trips" Krispy Kreme donuts, Pepsi-Cola and Doritos" were some field trips I remember. and got a goodie box/baggage to go also, All students did. It was fun.
My mom always shared a childhood memory of hers about going to a Krispy Kreme in Raleigh NC. She said they only went once a year after harvest time. At that time the trip to Raleigh from Goldsboro was a all day event with a picnic along the way. The roads were mostly dirt until you got closer to Raleigh. But, she said those were the best doughnuts she had ever had! So, our family has a special place in our hearts for Krispy Kreme!!!!
I remember when the first KK arrived in Colorado in the late 1990's. There was a line of cars 5 miles long and even reporters showed up - helicopters and everything. People were poring in from neighboring states. I was born and raised in Georgia so I found this very amusing.
My parents moved to Winston Salem in 1979 starting my obsession with Krispy Kreme. Nothing beats a hot fresh Krispy Kreme glazed and good coffee. Although Charlotte has too many transplants that prefer Dunkin :(
Grew up in W-S. Good memories selling them for fundraisers and being mesmerized by the donut extruder & glaze waterfall. They were incredible when right off the line.
i live in w-s also...took my 4 year old granddaughter to the one on stratford rd monday..she had never been, her eyes lit up watching them being made..of course she loved eating it too.
Yea here in Australia they had plans to open lots of stores but they weren’t overly successful (not an outright failure) so only have a handful in the entire country. But they have an arrangement with 7/11 convenience stores where they have a donut shelf in th store where’s you can buy selected packs or a small selection of individual donuts. Not sure how long they remain on the shelf though before being thrown out.
@@andyrob3259 Glazed doughnuts can always be revived 10 seconds in a microwave oven. Krispy Kreme aren't My favorite, in California the best Raised Glazed, are usually made in regular independent doughnut shops. We had alot of Krispy Kreme stores close also, they remain open a few here and there. I had an awesome doughnut in Cork, Ireland, it was a long shape covered in whipped cream.
We used to have the KK donuts came to my elementary school every Friday and sell these donuts 10 cents for 1 donut and 10 donuts for $1.00. That was 1983-1985, when I moved away.
I'll give Krispy Kreme their due as far as chain doughnuts go. IMO they're better than Dunkin and Tim Hortons. But for me, the best doughnuts always came from small local bakeries. I used to deliver the morning paper when I was I a kid and I picked up my papers at 5 AM right around the corner from a bakery. The smell coming from the place was enticing so one morning I knocked on the door and struck up a deal with the owner, one daily paper for one éclair. I would finish my morning éclair by the time I got to my first street. It was so good. I also used to like getting doughnuts hot out of the fryer at the cider mill in the fall. Nothing like enjoying the changing colors with a hot doughnut and a cold cup of cider. Good old days.
@@RetroFreak35 Can't say I ever tried em. Neither of them in my neck of the woods when I was coming up. But I'll take your word for it. Maybe if I come across one I'll give em a try.
I totally agree. Dunkin is horrible for donuts but good at everything else they make. Krispy Kreme just tastes like puffed sugar to me. I had my first Krispy Kreme donut in 1994 and have probably had a few dozen over the years since then, but not for quite awhile. If you're going to eat a Krispy Kreme donut, at least get it when it's right off the line because they are not worth eating when luke warm or cold.
@@cdfreester I must laugh a little - 1994. Either you are a young squirt or had a sheltered life. I ate my 1st Krispy Kreme when I was 3. They opened in Wilmington, NC. Considering I am now 72 I guess I have eaten 100 dozen over the years. Someone wrote here that unless they were fresh off the line they aren't any good. I beg the differ with this individual. Day old make excellent dipping donuts. Milk, coffee or hot chocolate were great for this task. As a kid, we never passed the store without buying at least 2 dozen donuts 1 just glazed and a dozen of whatever was in the counter.
My great grandad Lewis is Vernon's brother. Together they started Krispy Kreme! Lewis liked his donuts a day old because the glaze set in better. I miss him so much - he was always really kind to me.
Melt in your mouth goodness. Had them in Raleigh, NC in the 60s. Person St. Eventually moving across the street on Person St to a larger location. One of my favorite childhood memories is going to “The Krispy Kreme” with my Aunt Peggy Gower. My husband still gets 2 dozen every time he goes to get it.
I remember one on Piedmont Rd in Atlanta, back in the very early 60’s. We didn’t have much money, but it was a treat when we went there. I wonder if it’s still there?
I'm from Houston, TX. There was a mom/pop doughnut shop in 5th ward (that sadly closed). Krispy Kreme is as near to that delicious perfection. That's how my late dad loved his doughnuts, right after glazing. It truly makes you feel like an 8 yr. old kid! LOL!
In 1989, my parents brought Doughnuts from Krispy Kreme and in 2015 to now, I have bought and bring 8 to 10 dozen Krispy Kreme Doughnuts to work to my kitchen staff. Dishwashers, Cooks, Servers, and even my bosses love and adore me when I bring these doughnuts to work so I can change sadness to happiness, hate to love and negative to positive. Krispy Kreme was, is, and always will be the best doughnut shop in the world. Bar none.
Ordinarily I prefer cake donuts but if I pass a Krispy Kreme and the hot donut sign is lit up I'll usually stop and get a box. There's just something about them fresh and warm that I can't resist. It is also the only time I crave coffee.
One of the things that always amazes me about your videos is finding out how long these companies have been around for. I'm 52, and it still surprises me. And believe it or not, I never knew Krispy Kreme has retail locations---I've never seen one, I've only seen their donuts in stores
It's why the US was so successful, you just wouldn't get this type of entrepreneurship in any other country at that time. Britain had it at the advent of the industrial revolution too. All these stories come from small business and family run enterprises. Once the financial industry gets involved, the declince was inevitable. Both Britain and the UK are now complete shitholes
I remember my first time going in to a Krispy Kreme here in Washington State, I was so mesmerized by the doughnut making process that it became one my fondest doughnut memories. I still look forward to seeing those doughnuts on the conveyors every time I go in to a Krispy Kreme. I am saddened to find out that the free doughnut when the Red sign is lit isn't a thing anymore but it was nice to see the Red sign back on for the first time in years at my local Krispy Kreme.
What can I say, they've always been a family favorite for us..we used to go to the Victory drive location in Savannah GA..it's still there in it's original splendor.. also I lived in Baton Rouge for 20 years and they also had an old original location that they've since renewed into a modern model...sad.. Nothing but love for Krispy Kreme 💚🚨
YUM! I love Krispy Kreme doughnuts! It's a tradition of ours to buy a dozen to have when we arrive at our destination when we are on a genealogy trip. Unfortunately, one time the hotel we stayed in had an ant problem and when we got back to our room after a full day of visiting cemeteries, they were completely covered in red ants! I was so disappointed, I can't even tell you. Guess EVERYONE Loves Krispy Kreme Doughnuts!
I worked at Bellagio in las vegas many years and one of the executives from Krispy Kreme came in quite a bit. Always brought staff fresh donuts. It was first time i even heard of Kristy Kreme. They are indeed delicious.
I miss the Krispy Creme shop.We don't have any here now.Only the preboxed ones.While good still not the same as going to the shop. Boston cream Krispy Creme is my all time favorite
I know people go crazy for these mass produced donuts, but i think back to baker-made doughnut shops where they cut and frosted each one by hand. After all is said, the taste buds can tell the difference of a hand-fried delicacy.
There was a Krispy Kreme in Charlotte NC back in the day. I think it was off Independence but I don't remember. This was back in the seventies! Fond memories! Now I live outside ATL and have one down the street. Stays busy!
In the late 90’s a KK opened in Fresno Ca, I was never impressed. It closed then a Chik Filliet opened there. Years later a new 1 opened. I prefer cake doughnuts, we had Wintchells and Donut Star, thoes were great doughnuts. Here in Central Ca a lot of Asian own the doughnut business, they are always polite and friendly and a clean shop! It’s 6:05 am, thanks, now I want a doughnut. ✌️❤️🦋🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩
I have always loved Krispy Kreme donuts ever since I was a kid, didn’t get the luxury of going into an actual Krispy Kreme doughnut shop until I moved to Panama City Beach Florida almost 7 years ago, because all the ones in Georgia were too far away from me, so I ended up getting them from the grocery store. 🤔
Had a store in Irving, Tx for about 3-4 years. It closed, bulldozed, and replaced with a vegan store at the location. The store was inconvenient to drive to. Location, location, location...
I did not know the the "HOT NOW" sign was introduced as late as 1992. The one I most frequented was in Atlanta on Ponce De Leon, which I hear recently had a fire resulting in its loss. Since moving out west, there is one sort of where I live but since making my health a priority, no more sugary treats. Think of sugar as the new smoking.
I live in HIGH POINT NC. Several photos were taken at the North End location. A box use to not be the price of a dinner, but a room full of kids are satisfied with a box of Krispy Kreme doughnuts.
I found this video son interesting...thanks again for all your research on each video! My favorite KK doughnut is their Key Lime Pie one. Haven't had one in a long while, but wow - it was sooo good!
I have bought them for years in the Atlanta West End store. Ms. Joan would always throw in extras because she knew I was taking them to church for our early service choir singers. I paid for them as an "incentive ". Southern Methodists will magically appear when Krispy Kreme donuts are offered. Lol
Had a tour of a local Krispy Kreme when I was in elementary school (I'm a boomer to give you an idea of the era 😄). I was fixated on the machine making the jelly filled donuts, I had never had one or knew they existed. We each got a glazed donut and a box of milk and there was a picnic table behind the store, but my mind was on that jelly filled donut 😂 I kept thinking about that jelly filled donut until I was old enough to drive and get one myself 😂 The store is still there on Virginia Beach Boulevard.
They have recently expanded in NYC. again. I remember first opening in 90s in NY NY. W 23 Chelsea. The smell and sight of them coming hot off the line drew in many people. Enjoyed coffee and donuts many times there and from small take away shop at the original World Trade Center. I think their business went down as 'we' saw how much we were fattening up. PS, the pic re 'shop in NYC in 1996' is a rendering of the big 'Times Square' Krispy Kreme on Broadway - west 48 street.
I can remember when KK came to Visalia. It was the talk of the town. After a couple weeks we decided to try it. Oh my did we quickly understand what all the hype was about ! Insanely addictive gluttonous sugary goodness. Organizations started to sell them on street corners for fundraising. It was hyped for probably a year then it dissipated quickly. Great History lesson ! Thank you
We had a couple stores around my hometown in Michigan in the late 90's - early 2k's - I was so impressed I bought stock in the company! Then the stock took a major hit because the company was supposedly cooking more than donuts (the books) ... the stock was delisted from the NYSE and the stores closed up shop. I still love a warm Krispy Kreme when I can get my hands on one though! Thanks for the video.
With the collapse of so many malls the few Krispy Kreme donut stores where you could get them hot off the line are far and few between now. But a hot Krispy Kreme is definitely one of the best donuts in the world.
Love these doughnuts, but in moderation😁 We never had a Krispy Kreme shop in my town as a kid, but we had a very similar vintage automated doughnut machine in a local bakery. You could sit in the window and watch doughnuts being made and the smell was intoxicating. Unfortunately, it was damaged/destroyed in an earthquake😕 I did not have my first Krispy Kreme until around 2001... Boy was that good!!
Seems like our best USA products had humble beginnings. I wish our local bakeries could have hung on. All the Mom and Pop bakeries gone by me in Northwest Indiana. What a shame.
Recently completed the paperwork to get my Texas drivers license approved for the Republic of Panama, As I stepped out of the Panama City office, what did I see? A Krispy Kreme! I felt I deserved a reward donut and went inside. Yum, it was good!
The glazed original or the chocolate glazed, when hot, are the _BOMB_ and the only thing that comes close after those is a hot caramel glazed doughnut with real bacon bits on it from Duck Doughnuts.
there’s a krispy kreme that opened like 2 years ago in my area (only one around here) and i kid you not it still to this day has a line wrapped around the building and the entire block. it’s crazy
Recollection Road is now one of my fave channels. I enjoy the relaxed, nostalgic pace and tone of voice.
makes me sad for how bad america is now - look at everything weve lost or "improved" away
Its nice to have a gentle non computerized voice
Same
Back in 70s they had excursions like "little people business trips" Krispy Kreme donuts, Pepsi-Cola and Doritos" were some field trips I remember. and got a goodie box/baggage to go also, All students did. It was fun.
They're the BEST doughnuts around, they're like biting into a sweet cloud, so light and fluffy!! Mmmmmm 🍩😋
Krispy kremes are doing business still today like Dunkin donuts Winchell's
Donny Osmond said the same exact thing 😂
When the sign says "Hot", they're second to none.
I used to help a man deliver KK donuts back in 1972 (to tie it together with the 1972 vid).
Growing up as a child my family would drive 60 miles to get them on Sunday. Years later we have one now in our town. Loved them still.
Oh yes, definitely worth the trip.
My mom always shared a childhood memory of hers about going to a Krispy Kreme in Raleigh NC.
She said they only went once a year after harvest time.
At that time the trip to Raleigh from Goldsboro was a all day event with a picnic along the way.

So, our family has a special place in our hearts for Krispy Kreme!!!!
Thanks for sharing that story 😁
I really had to reread this and think about it. How special that day must have been. Thank you for sharing.
I've had them right off the line and they are indeed something special.
Their pillows of the Gods melt in your mouth deliciousness 🤤🖤🔥💣✨🌹✌️
Ugh they are so so much
Indeed they are amazing.
@Eidelmania same here. Just one is enough to make me sick. I can't imagine eating these in the morning
KK doughnuts are my favorite!
Grew up in Winston-Salem. Brings back a lot of memories, nothing better.
Krispy Kreme is always a must stop when heading back to my hometown.
I remember when the first KK arrived in Colorado in the late 1990's. There was a line of cars 5 miles long and even reporters showed up - helicopters and everything. People were poring in from neighboring states. I was born and raised in Georgia so I found this very amusing.
My parents moved to Winston Salem in 1979 starting my obsession with Krispy Kreme. Nothing beats a hot fresh Krispy Kreme glazed and good coffee. Although Charlotte has too many transplants that prefer Dunkin :(
Raleigh too :-(
We got one right down the street. Their app notifies me when they have "hot'n ready now" donuts. They just melt in your mouth.
Nothing beats a cup of hot coffee and a Krispy Kreme doughnut, eaten while walking thru a park and admiring the fall leaves.
Yessss Sir!!!!
Just one doughnut? When they're warm, they're like crack!
That sounds awesome!
Grew up in W-S. Good memories selling them for fundraisers and being mesmerized by the donut extruder & glaze waterfall. They were incredible when right off the line.
i live in w-s also...took my 4 year old granddaughter to the one on stratford rd monday..she had never been, her eyes lit up watching them being made..of course she loved eating it too.
My favorite donuts
And I LOVE that the music is appropriately in the background and doesn’t drown out the voice !! Thank you for all of your videos!! Keep them coming.
Creme filled KK was my favorite !
(St Louis county back in the day)
We've had them in the UK for a good 10 years now, but while they do have places to buy them fresh, they're mostly packs you pick up in supermarkets.
That's kinda of how it is in our state.
True! To my own opinion better than DD.
Yea here in Australia they had plans to open lots of stores but they weren’t overly successful (not an outright failure) so only have a handful in the entire country.

Finally got here to RR to enjoy a Glazed Original and a cup of coffee with friends, Guru Larry!
OYE, TU! Welcome! 🍩☕

I grew up with Winchell's Donuts
The Winchells in my old neighborgood is still at same location in strip mall for at least 45 years. Only thing in neighborhood that hasnt changed.

Excellent....thx for the reminder.... !
They are the best
They still are one of the best doughnuts in the world! Freshly cooked, they cannot be beaten! Great little documentary, thanks!
When I was pregnant with my daughter I used to drive 45mins@5am to get warm glazed Krispy Kreme Donuts😋
I remember one on Piedmont Rd in Atlanta, back in the very early 60’s. We didn’t have much money, but it was a treat when we went there.
I wonder if it’s still there?
Jim, the Atlanta location on Ponce De Leon was my go-to spot in 1970s!

In Texas, every wide spot in the road has a doughnut shop. Usually run by a Vietnamese family.
ANd every on I've tried made good doughnuts.
thank you bc everyone here swears by Shipleys is horrible nothing but bread dough
Saw a Krispy Kreme in Singapore a few years ago. I'm glad it's all around the world now
And 7-11 😂

Best donut of all time dang now I gotta go get a dozen after watching this
Rhe pink frosted doughnuts are great❤
I can honestly say I have never had a KrispyKreme donut- but they do look tempting!
These doughnuts are avaliable in Australia. I have never been a doughnut fan, but I love these.
I can remember when KK came to Visalia. It was the talk of the town. After a couple weeks we decided to try it. Oh my did we quickly understand what all the hype was about !

When upon life’s journey, striving for your goal, keep your eye upon the donut and not upon the hole!
They're so good. This is making me want some right now.
Those Sputnik chandeliers at 2:18! My heart went pitter-pat!
Krispy Kreme donuts are the finest ever eaten. Critics be damned! 🍩
Back in the mid 1970s, my family and I got doughnuts from Krispy Kreme.
There’s nothing like seeing the lights of the Hot Now sign lit up!
With the collapse of so many malls the few Krispy Kreme donut stores where you could get them hot off the line are far and few between now.
But a hot Krispy Kreme is definitely one of the best donuts in the world.
I love my city of Winston Salem
I have one in my town. I think I'll pick up a box next week.
I have coffee but no Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. I could almost smell the sweet aroma.
Same, the BP down the street has them, think I'll pop down in the morning for a box 🎃
Love these doughnuts, but in moderation😁 We never had a Krispy Kreme shop in my town as a kid, but we had a very similar vintage automated doughnut machine in a local bakery. You could sit in the window and watch doughnuts being made and the smell was intoxicating. Unfortunately, it was damaged/destroyed in an earthquake😕 I did not have my first Krispy Kreme until around 2001... Boy was that good!!
Krispy Kreme doughnuts are the best! 😜 🍩 🍩 🍩 🍩 🍩 🍩 yum yum! Fresh daily! Coffee and Krispy Kreme doughnuts for breakfast for me! 👍
Seems like our best USA products had humble beginnings. I wish our local bakeries could have hung on. All the Mom and Pop bakeries gone by me in Northwest Indiana. What a shame.
Original Glazed is their best donut!
Wish there was a Krispy Kreme donuts here in Oklahoma! Walmart usually sells them in the back on a shelf in the middle of the isle.
Yes, but how old? 🤔
Recently completed the paperwork to get my Texas drivers license approved for the Republic of Panama, As I stepped out of the Panama City office, what did I see? A Krispy Kreme! I felt I deserved a reward donut and went inside. Yum, it was good!
I don t even remember Krispy Kream Doughnuts but thank you for sharing this I do remember Winchell s donuts
The glazed original or the chocolate glazed, when hot, are the _BOMB_ and the only thing that comes close after those is a hot caramel glazed doughnut with real bacon bits on it from Duck Doughnuts.
Always been a fan, so much better than Dunkin. Great video!
They're alright but a Lil too sweet!!
Agreed. They're liked puffed sugar to me.
there’s a krispy kreme that opened like 2 years ago in my area (only one around here) and i kid you not it still to this day has a line wrapped around the building and the entire block. it’s crazy
