There was a Krispy Kreme donut bakery about 2 miles from my house. They had
been in that location for _years._ Yes, you could see the donuts going
around and around a conveyor belt to cool every so slightly before getting
their coat of glaze. If you wanted hot donuts and not the ones in the display
case the clerk would go back and get however many you ordered right off the
glazing line. They were just under the temperature to burn your mouth and
oh soooooo good!

Ten or fifteen years ago they decided to close this store because they weren't
'making money.' Yeah, sure. This facility shipped to all the grocery stores
and drive-thru markets. What they wanted to do was move into a super ginormous
shopping center area to sell even more donuts. But that new location does not
make donuts, they're shipped from one of their other bakeries.
