Krispy Kreme plans to open 500 “points of access” across France over the next 12 months, including more stores, smaller kiosks and vending machines in supermarkets.

Wednesday’s opening was the culmination of a vigorous marketing push.

Maizoué’s team handed out 100,000 free donuts in the two weeks before the store opened, he said, with Parisians waiting in lines up to a mile long (1.5 kilometer) across 10 pop-up locations dotted around the city.

Here's what makes Krispy Kreme the best glazed donut ever.

It's almost as good at room temperature as it is right out of the grease. No other donut can make this claim.

No donut beats a Krispy Kreme glazed.
None.

That comment confirms you have never traveled to France, nor any other European country. France as well as all of Europe has fantastic and very diverse cuisine. Been there, done that.

When I was a kid, I thought Krispy Kreme was at one location in Northport, AL. Had no clue it a chain.

I was staying in a hotel in Orem Utah and there was a Krspy Kreme across the street. Loved waking up to the smell of donuts and a short walk to get some.

Fun fact:

the original recipe for Krispy Kreme donuts was purchased from a New Orleans chef.

I am going to Paris in the spring. Maybe I will bring a few boxes to sell at the back of the line.

Round Rock donuts in Round Rock Texas are the best ever glazed donuts.

I worked for a Danish company once. When they sent folks over, we would get dozens of Krispy Kremes. They loved and lived on Krispy Kremes and coffee.

Rode the train into Victoria Station in London one day. Walked up the stairs and immediately saw a Krispy Kreme kiosk. I got one just to see if they were the same. They don't get the same flour over there and it was a heavier donut, like most of their pastries. It was still good, but not the melt in your mouth kind of good a hot Krispy Kreme is.

This is true. There is no good food outside of LA.

Good to see the parisians will be large and overweight in no time. But now you have me wanting to head to Plank Rd. tomorrow. Last time I went they were a $1.50 a donut.

Flew from Maui to Oahu years ago. Every Hawaiian had dozens of Krispy Kreme donuts in their lap.

They had a store in Maui at the time but not Oahu.
