krispy kreme originated in the usa in 1937, about 70 years ago. in 2001, it started its first store outside the usa, in canada. besides the stores that krispy kreme operate in the united states and canada, there are also franchised stores in the united kingdom, australia, kuwait, mexico, south korea, hong kong, indonesia, the philippines and japan.

the first krispy kreme store in australia opened in sydney in 2003. in the state of victoria, australia, when the store first opened in june 2006, people had waited for three days creating a drive through line over two kilometres long. the drive through line did not stop until about three weeks after the opening and the internal store was constantly forced to remove people from the building after closing hours.

the signature doughtnut is the original glazed (top picture). it is best that you eat it hot. other varieties include glazed cinnamon, glazed lemon filled, glazed crueller, glazed blueberry, glazed sour cream, glazed creme filled, cinnamon apple filled, chocolate iced glazed, chocolate iced with sprinkles, chocolate iced kreme filled, chocolate iced grazed crueller, chocolate iced custard filled and the dulce de leche.

according to lay bee, her nephew in los angeles has five original glazed doughnuts for breakfast each time. many visitors to the states buy back the krispy kreme doughnuts as 'food souvenirs'.
