    Wow, as if I need another reason to eat Krispy Kremes...

    What's up with mass movement to put whole grains into everything? I mean, come on...Krispy Kremes??? It's laughable, isn't it? I have absolutely no problem eating the bleached flour version, and now I'm going to have even less of a problem eating the "healthier" version.

    From what I understand, Krispy Kreme's profits were badly, badly hurt by the Atkins craze. While I doubt that that whole-wheat doughnuts are significantly healthier than the bleached version (I mean, they're still doughnuts, right?), they're much easier to market to those folks counting carbs.

    Dunno if they still sell WW donuts, but Krispy Kreme is having a resurgence. Son of a gun.

    So, will they attempt to buy back all the buildings that once held failed franchisees; now housing new, more successful operations, or will they build new KKs in new shopping mall out lots?

    Krispy Kreme Doughnuts is attempting a comeback in the Chicago area. The Winston-Salem, N.C.-based doughnut retailer plans to open eight shops throughout the area in the next few years. The new locations will attempt to replenish the city's supply of Krispy Kreme shops that have dwindled down to one Elk Grove Village location.

    Keep your whole wheat out of my junk food. I'm not visiting KK for health.

    Krispy Kreme to replace Washington Square restaurant this summer
    A new Krispy Kreme doughnut shop in Homewood will be the first in the company's effort to resurrect its retail operations in the Chicago area. It will replace Washington Square Pancake House this summer.

    The Homewood Board of Trustees approved an ordinance Tuesday, June 14, that amends the planned unit development agreement (PUD) for the site, paving the way for construction of the new store.

    The store at 17815 Halsted St. is being developed by Chicagoland Restaurants LLC, a licensed Krispy Kreme franchisee that plans to build eight locations in the Chicago area. Krispy Kreme's retail operations disappeared from the area nearly a decade ago after the company ran into financial trouble.

    Krispy Kreme to Open Up Homewood Shop in January
    HOMEWOOD, IL — Local Krispy Kreme fans have a little something sweet to look forward to next month.

    The doughnut chain recently announced it will soon debut its newest storefront at 17815 S. Halsted Street in Homewood, with opening set for Jan. 10, 2017.

    The first dozen customers will receive a free dozen Original Glazed doughnuts every week for a year, while customers 13 through 100 will receive a free dozen Original Glazed doughnuts every month for a year, NBC reports.

    Customers can wait it out in a heated tent for their chance at a free dozen on Jan. 9, after taking a number. They'll have to stay in line until doors officially open on Jan. 10 at 6 a.m.

    The Homewood location will be open daily from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., as well as offering a 24-hour drive-thru.
