Krispy Kreme has a business model in which they don’t saturate their market, per se. As in, their stores have to be so many miles apart based on population and customer base.

Trader Joe’s might be analogous, but they’re a bit more pretentious about it.

I see. Thank you for explaining.

I am a Krispy Kreme fanatic, I love them more than I should and is healthy. The store in town is also awkward for me to get to. So I just don't go. If they had another location or two I would spend more money with them. Recall when they had the location on Glenstone that is now a Panda Express? When that was one of their locations I was getting 2 dozen a week (not just for me, I share). Now it's more like one dozen every two months. So maybe now they are a bit undersaturated.

EDIT to add: Buying them at walmart or a gas station is not the same thing as fresh from the store.
