The one thing Krispy Kreme has going for them is if you can get them fresh and warm, they are pretty damn good, and they generally make them fresh all day. But at least in my area, what they did is open a handful of locations where you could get them freshly-made, let those build some hype for a year or two, then close them down and sell the pre-packaged garbage in grocery stores and gas stations.
IMO they are still generally better than whatever other basic glazed donuts you can buy off the store shelf, but if there’s a local bakery that sells fresh donuts though, 10/10 they will be better than Krispy Kreme.

99% of Krispy Kreme in the UK is sold from a small display in a supermarket, where they’re stone cold and greasy as shit.
