Back in July, we told you the sorry news that Krispy Kreme was opening
40 donut shops in Japan. While we advocate international commerce, we just wish the US could export something other than junk food. So we should not be surpised to learn from the
Associated Press that Krispy Kreme just opened their first location in China at the Causeway Bay shopping district in Hong Kong. According to the
Associated Press,
Hong Kong is already the hub for the introduction of Western cuisine in China. KFC and McDonald’s are staples in the city, but donuts are still are rare. While competitive donut chains may decide to enter the promising Chinese market, Krispy Kreme has a decided advantage. The Chinese value freshness and are used to watching food public food preparation. The Kripsy Kreme conveyor belt which makes
Marketing Blurb shutter is probably the ideal food presentation for Chinese donuts.
