Krispy Kreme to open in Leeds

Krispy Kreme is to open one of its 'Hotlight' stores at Leeds Junction 27 on 5 July, bringing drive-through doughnuts and 'doughnut theatre' to Leeds in time for the summer holidays.

The Hotlight store is one of just 13 in the country to offer the full Krispy Kreme experience – hot, fresh doughnuts made round the clock, and a chance to see the doughnut-making magic first-hand.

At the doughnut theatre, families can watch from behind glass as the sweet treats make their journey from the dough mixer, through the glazing waterfall, and into the iconic green dotty box.

It's a strangely hypnotic experience. The best bit is when the 'Hot Doughnuts Now' neon sign lights up and there’s a chance to try an Original Glazed doughnut while it's still warm (it's a special moment in your life, whatever age you are).

In addition to the Original Glazed, Krispy Kreme Leeds will be serving 15 varieties including Strawberries & Kreme and Chocolate Dreamcake. Krispy Kreme doughnuts are traditionally bought by the dozen to share with family, friends and colleagues, though you can easily devour half a box all on your own.

You can pick up your doughnuts at the drive-through, or settle down in the seating area. The doughnut theatre makes a trip to Krispy Kreme a good option for a summer holiday treat for the kids.

The grand opening of Krispy Kreme Leeds is at 7am on Tuesday 5 July.
