  Krispy Kreme
by b1bob
 
 

Many Americans and even foreign travelers are familiar with the chain of doughnut stores called Krispy Kreme. However, very few people from outside the South are aware that the chain had its humble beginnings in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. In 1937, Vernon Rudolph bought a secret recipe from a French chef in New Orleans. He rented a building in Winston-Salem where he sold his first doughnut on 13 June 1937. They became so popular, that Mr. Rudolph opened the original Krispy Kreme store which still operates today.
