Krispy Kreme in Shinjuku

I wrote about the new Krispy Kreme in Tokyo back in a December 13, 2006 article, More Dietary Dangers Looming in Japan.

Here are a couple pictures:

lined up around the building for Krispy Kreme

(above) This is the end of the line. The line begins at the front of the shop and winds all the way around the building, onto this huge bridge over the train tracks!

Good news: In just 50 minutes, you'll be eating your donut!
(above) This is where the line starts, in front of the shop.

Every time I’ve been by here, the lines have been ridiculous. I’ve heard it can take an hour or more, just to get a donut. Man, Krispy Kreme donuts are ok, but there aren’t that great! So I think it is interesting, but I am not going to stand in line for one. In the US, people also go nuts over Krispy Kreme donuts…what’s the big deal?

Click on one of the pictures to go my Flickr page. I have a few more pictures of the line at Krispy Kreme. You can also see them in my 新宿 Shinjuku Flickr Photo Set.

    I had a krispy kreme today. It came to me, I didn’t have to wait in line! What would they do for a Lamar’s or Fluffy Fresh donut? Interesting business proposition…
