Krispy Kreme launched earlier this year in Causeway Bay and another in Soho, and thought it was worth a mention.
It wasn’t so long ago when you could go into a Krispy Kreme and get a free “sample” glazed donut. I thought this was a great idea as it makes you feel bad if you don’t purchase something…although I saw it work the other way with lines of old ladies and kids who had no intention of buying anything, just waiting for the free donut.
I read today that New York are asking Krispy Kreme and others to cut the levels of fats, particularly Trans Fats from their foods. After doing a bit of research, each original glazed doughnut has 4 grams of trans fat whilst some have more, up to 7 grams!
Holy shit! As a new start up in Hong Kong, perhaps the Hong Kong Government should of done their research a bit more before granting licenses to set up shop.
This seems to go against the daily Government run ads of ‘eating healthy and doing more exercise…

The Standard says Krispy Kreme is closed until further notice. I meant to give it a try. Now its too late. Was business so bad or was there another reason?

I’m disappointed but not surprised. There were very few customers the couple times I stopped by their store in Soho. Hopefully, its just temporary but I fear it’s not.
