Krispy Kreme to improve
Since they lost three stores, Krispy Kreme is going to remodel the store on N. Florida Avenue and start offering regular hot donut hours
I get a certain satisfaction out of knowing greater Seminole Heights can kick some buiness butt when it wants to. Starbucks is a huge success. Bigger than even they projected, I believe. And our little Krispy Kreme survives! I agree with Mia,,,,,,,,bring back the sign.
I don't know exactly how long that Krispy Kreme has been there but I do know that it must be approaching 40+ years. I had an uncle that drove a delivery truck for them and he died driving that truck in an accident in 1971. My grandfather used to meet up with his buddies every morning for coffee and conversation during his retirement. Does anyone know?
in my opinion, re-installing their awesome huge vintage neon sign would be a big improvement. it's been down since the bad hurricane season. :(
ReplyDeleteit added a lot of character, let folks know that it's been there a long time, and was much better at advertising their presence from afar.
Bring back the sign!
