Reminds me of when Krispy Kreme opened a store in Edinburgh. On one of the busiest routes in Edinburgh and caused traffic tailbacks for weeks - along with people walking across the motorway and getting into fights.

Quote of the article, responsible parenting from a scummy dad, complete with typically council kid names:
"Craigmount father Keith Wallace, who lives about five minutes from the store, headed straight for Krispy Kreme with daughters Tayne, 11, and Devin, five, after finishing work."

I actually lolled at that OpulentBob said:
Krispy Creme is 100% council. And Starbucks etc.
For reasoning, see Yankee Candles above.Posh Pricey for what it is, but still within the realms of a giro.
A few years ago a neighbour of ours started going out with a guy who was a bit of an entrepreneur. Never met him but he sounded low profile (own a Ferrari but pick her up in a Golf type). One evening over a summer beer she mentioned he'd just bought the UK rights to a US doughnut outfit but couldn't remember what the name was. I suggested KK as I'd been working in the US and it was the only dedicated store I knew over there. We all had a good laugh about how it would never work in the UK........For reasoning, see Yankee Candles above.

Does it work in the UK? Doesnt seem to have taken off much. No doubt they do earn a reasonable cut, but its not the most popular of take aways. RobinBanks said:

Could be the next Dunkin' Donuts (they were big in SE London about 20 years ago...).Heard some strange sounds outside my unit t'other day (industrial unit). When I opened the door I was met by two B Bulldog types with generously proportioned lady handler sat in the warehouse entrance, immediately adjacent to my front door.
"Just getting some sunshine while me dorters 'aving 'er lessun" with gesture towards neighbouring unit. Except the sun wasn't on that patch, nor would it be. But naturally she felt it better to rest in some doorway rather than, perhaps, in her car out of people's way, not making it look, well, council.
