Famous donuts new at college
by Brad Vertrees, Correspondent
Students and faculty alike now have a choice of donuts every morning.
Dining Services began selling the popular Krispy Kremes on Monday and will stay at the college based on demand.
According to Kimberly Nickelberry, the general manager for dining services, the donuts are delivered fresh every morning and will remain available throughout the day as long as supplies last.
Krispy Kremes came to the college as a result of numerous customer requests and the growing popularity of the famous breakfast pastry.
Despite being on the market for less than a week, positive comments are already starting to trickle in.
"People were stating that the donuts were long over due and appreciate that they are here," Nickelberry said.
The Krispy Kremes will be offered at $.99 each, plus tax.
They come in several varieties, including glazed, chocolate glazed, raspberry filled and Bavarian cream.
The Dining Services Alpha Fresh Baked Donuts will still be offered at at $.79, plus tax.
Krispy Kremes have been around since 1937, when a man named Vernon Rudolph started making his own donuts from a recipe he purchased from a French chef.
In 1976, Beatrice Foods bough Krispy Kremes and distributed the donuts until 1997, when a group of early franchisees bought Krispy Kremes from Beatrice Foods and began to expand outside the southeast.
