History behind Krispy Kreme
Starting on July 13, 1937, Vernon Rudolph bought a secret yeast-raised doughnut recipe from a chef in New Orleans, rented a building in Winston-Salem, and began selling Krispy Kreme doughnuts to local grocery stores. From the 1950s, Rudolph focused on improving and automating the doughnut-making process. For instance, there were a small chain of stores, mostly family-owned. As a result, Krispy Kreme built a mix plant and developed distribution system that delivered to each store. During the 1960s, Krispy Kreme enjoyed steady growth throughout the Southeast and began expanding outside its traditional roots. Vernon Rudolph died in 1973, and the growth slowed as the company was reorganized for sale to Beatrice Foods Company in 1976. In 1982, a small group of early franchisees bought back the Krispy Kreme from Beatrice Foods. This store began to expand outside the Southeast and opened its first store in New York City in 1996. In 1999, the first store opened in California and national expansion. In 1997, Krispy Kreme turned 60 years old and was officially recognized as a 20th century American icon with artifacts to the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History. In April 2000, Krispy Kreme held inital public offering of common stock. In December 2001, it opened the first international store in Canada just outside of Toronto. In 2003, the first stores outside North America opened in Sydney, Australia and in London, England.
