Krispy Kreme Returns to Minnesota With Fridley Shop Opening

Police managed traffic for an opening that drew overnight lines.

Overview

  • The Fridley store is Minnesota’s first Krispy Kreme location since the chain closed its last shop in the state in 2008.
  • Fans camped out and lined up before doors opened at 8 a.m., treating the launch as a community event.
  • Fridley officials directed vehicles to enter from 57th Avenue near Caribou Coffee and required a right-turn-only exit to ease congestion.
  • During grand opening week, 120 randomly selected customers will receive one dozen free doughnuts each month for a year.
  • On the second day of operations, the company plans a World Kindness Day offer granting a free dozen glazed doughnuts with the purchase of any dozen at regular price.
