Looks like the last lingering outlet for Krispy Kremes closed in
Amarillo. Sources cite abundant alliteration.
The "Hot Doughnuts Now" sign has switched off for the last time in Amarillo.
Krispy Kreme Doughnuts rolled into Amarillo in 2002 with huge fanfare and long lines, but left with none of the pomp and circumstance of its arrival.
Operators of Amarillo's only Krispy Kreme on west Interstate 40 switched off the lights for the last time Sunday night and hung a simple piece of paper on the door stating that the store was closed for good.
"We can't say anything more than that," said a man in the store, who refused to give his name, while gesturing to the sign.
I have another theory. The donuts suck. When the donut consists of equal parts sugar-glaze and fried dough, you're really limiting yourself to 10 year olds and diabetics that need a glucose injection and can't find a syringe.
