People will cart back large number of boxes of the stuff and sell it as fund-raisers for their clubs. I've never bought a box of imported KK but MANY Hawaiians have. I don't find an hours old KK doughnut to be that appealing.

Visitors from the mainland would baulk at going to a doughnut shop during their Hawaiian vacation. That's a good thing. Don't come to Hawaii to visit no stinkin' doughnut shop! OTOH, I highly recommend Leonard's Bakery if you're on Oahu.

I shall have to do that. The last time I went from Kona to Hilo, I was a kid and it was in a VW bug and I had to go to the toilet early on. We didn't stop. That was a most memorable trip.
