Hot Now — New Krispy Kreme Approved for South Jersey
If you miss experiencing the true joy that comes with seeing the red neon "HOT NOW" sign at Krispy Kreme, your dreams are about to turn into reality.
According to 42freeway.com, a new Krispy Kreme was approved at Thursday night's planning board meeting in Deptford Township.
But what was approved wasn't just a store that will sell those ooey gooey delightfully hot doughnuts. Oh, no -- what was approved is a brand new prototype of a Krispy Kreme store that will include a full bakery that will stock stores that sell those doughnuts all across our area.
I mean, go big or go home, right?
In the very near future, you'll be able to shoot-up the Expressway, jump off the freeway, stock-up on hot, factory-fresh doughnuts, and be back home and they might just still be warm (assuming you don't devour them in the car).
Anyway, 42freeway.com reports the store will be built -- with a drive-thru -- in the parking lot (it won't be inside the mall) by where the old Sears store was.
Krispy Kreme has had a bit of a checkered history in our region. One store in Northfield opened a number of years ago to great fanfare but it didn't last long, while a handful of stores in and around Philadelphia also met their demise. At the moment, there are Krispy Kreme locations in Collingswood and around Philadelphia. But while Collingswood might be a bit of a hike for the Shore area, Deptford is just close enough where you might be willing to make a 45-minute trip for those hot circles of happiness.
Be sure to check out 42freeway.com for renderings of the new store and more.
And stop drooling.
