Krispy Kreme donuts soon to be available in Shanghai?

krispykreme.jpg Krispy Kreme might be feeling the squeeze in the United States, but fears of bankruptcy hasn't stopped the uber-delicious donut purveyor from entering China. According to Brand Republic, the shop has partnered with BBDO Guerrero to expand overseas and plans to open up 35 stores over the next five years in Shanghai, Beijing and Tianjin. Yikes! Even more places selling delicious sugar-glazed fried bread? Be still our expanding waistlines.

    Why can't they open up some Tim Hortons instead? Krispy Kream is gross and unhealthy for any country.

    Huh, weird considering they just closed all their Hong Kong branches.

    This is true. I remember reading that some of the suspected reasons they did not do well were that Krispy Kreme's doughnuts were overpriced and too sugary for the tastes of the locals.

    Does not. You're confusing the chain with your mom.
