Krispy Kreme Bankrupt, Exits Hong Kong

When I travel back to China from Singapore, one of my optional routes is to fly to Hong Kong and then travel overland to China. During one of such trips, I discovered to my great delight that Krispy Kreme doughnuts were now being sold in Hong Kong.

And during longer stays in China, I would sojourn out to Hong Kong on weekends. Krispy Kreme doughnuts were a definite must-have on such trips. In fact, Krispy Kreme doughnuts are very effective if you’re having a massive hangover. And then later I discovered that Krispy Kreme had opened a branch at the Hong Kong airport, which resulted in me always buying a couple of boxes to bring home to Singapore.

Alas, Krispy Kreme has gone bankrupt in Hong Kong and will be closing down. Apparently the outrageous property rental rates in Hong Kong had something to do with it.

My heart shattered into a million pieces of choked arteries when I heard the news…

at least the 2 kiosks in the airport are still open for business. So u still can grab them enroute back out or going into HK , only thing is not sure how long these 2 kiosks will last. so get it while it’s hot!

Krispy Kreme no longer available in Bali too. Sad.

you still OWE me kk donuts!!!!! where are the KK donuts you promised meeeee?

but starmist is already so fat…

Doncha worry. Vincent Tan is gonna bring the krispy kreme franchise to malaysia and contribute to the obesity crisis.

the two outlets at HKIA will tahan until end of this week

starmist where have fat?? i’m like 1/4 your size caaannnnn…

All hail Vincent Tan.

But a buy of Krispy Kreme in Malaysia means a vote for judicial corruption. VK Lingam is still free as a bird. You’ll probably see in line at a Krispy Kreme at Berjaya Times Square.

“3 chocolate, 3 almond, 3 jelly, sir?”
“Korrect, Korrect, Korrect.”

But fuck it, right, who cares about politics as long as you aren’t personally, directly affected. *sarcasm*

by the looks of it, KK would never be coming to the sunny shores of singapore ever.

sigh.

juz write a damn letter to KK, ask them open 1 next to ur house instead of times square la, well u juz trying to save KK from smudging with ‘korek korek korek’ taste nia mah

rite rite rite

of coz canot make it in HK. ppl there are at least twice as skinny as singaporeans. why wld they want oily stuf like kk?

if they followed their starfucks way.. sure kk wont be that fresh either. starfucks danish r yuks

I tried the donuts two months ago which is during Sep when I went to Hk for a holiday..bought a box home to try.First time trying it.I remembered one of the SIA staff was so excited about it when she saw me with the box of donuts when I get off the plane. haha..

Look like that is the first and the last time I can get the donuts from HK.. :( is ok, at least I tried..
