Well-known doughnut chain Krispy Kreme was founded in North Carolina on this day in history<\/a>, July 13, 1937.<\/p>\n

Company founder Vernon Rudolph “bought a secret yeast-raised doughnut recipe from a New Orleans French chef,” said the website for Krispy Kreme.<\/p>\n

Rudolph set up a doughnut factory in present-day Old Salem in Winston-Salem, North Carolina<\/a>, and began to sell doughnuts to area grocery stores, says the chain’s website.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The delicious scents of cooking doughnuts drifted into the streets, and passersby stopped to ask if they could buy hot doughnuts,” said the website.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Since then, “Krispy Kreme is one of the most beloved and well-known sweet treat brands<\/a> in the world,” said its website.<\/p>\n

“Our iconic Original Glazed\u00ae doughnut is universally recognized for its hot-off-the-line, melt-in-your-mouth experience,” they said.<\/p>\n

Far removed from its beginnings as a literal hole in the wall in North Carolina, the company now has operations in more than 30 countries, said its website.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the 1940s and 1950s, Krispy Kreme expanded throughout North Carolina and South Carolina, and further developed its doughnut-making procedures.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While each of the stores used the same recipe<\/a>, the scratch-made doughnuts meant that there were inconsistencies between locations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The solution to this problem? Automation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Krispy Kreme built a mix plant and developed a distribution system that delivered the perfect dry doughnuts mix<\/a> to each Krispy Kreme store,” said the company’s website.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Then Rudolph and his equipment engineers invented and built Krispy Kreme\u2019s own doughnut making equipment. From the 1950s on, they focused on improving and automating the doughnut making process.”<\/p>\n

The company was sold to sale to Beatrice Foods Company in 1976, three years after the death of Rudolph.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a somewhat unusual move, the company was bought back from Beatrice Foods in 1982 by “a small group of our early franchisees,” said the company.<\/p>\n

“A renewed focus on the hot doughnut experience<\/a> became a priority for the company,” it also said, along with expansion outside its roots in the southeastern United States.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Krispy Kreme opened its first store in New York City in 1996.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The city is now home to the Krispy Kreme Flagship store<\/a>, which sells an exclusive “Big Apple Doughnut” with an apple cream filling.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Expansion continued, with its first California store opening in 1999 \u2014 and the company went public with an IPO in April 2000, said its website.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Krispy Kreme’s first international store opened in December 2001 in Ontario, Canada<\/a>, its website also noted.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2003, Krispy Kreme opened locations in Sydney, Australia, and London, England, its first locations outside of North America.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
