Krispy Kreme’s story began in 1937 when Vernon Rudolph, the man responsible for these heavenly delights, bought a secret recipe for yeast-raised doughnuts from a French chef in New Orleans… 1976 Vernon sadly passed away, but his legacy lives on and Krispy Kreme will be celebrating 81 years this year. Krispy Kreme doughnuts are made fresh daily delivering delicious taste and many joyful experiences across the world.
