I just ate an orange and now I’m all sticky. Just thought you might like to know.
Did you hear? Target is no longer selling Krispy Kremes! At least neither of our Super Targets are. They are going to make their OWN donuts in the bakery (they make Einstein Bagels in their bakery too). Evidently - Krispy Kreme hasn’t been delivering the donuts fresh enough to make the cost worthwhile. Because lets be honest, a room temperature Krispy Kreme is no different than any other donut. Its the HOT! FRESH! NOW! Krispy Kremes that are worth dying for.
So, I find myself torn between two friends. I mean - should I continue to shop at my FAVORITE STORE IN THE WHOLE WORLD, even if they stop selling my FAVORITE FOOD IN THE WHOLE WORLD? Is my love for Krispy Kreme enough for me to boycott Target, for principal’s sake?
Hell no. I can still get HOT! FRESH! NOW! Krispy Kreme’s at the Krispy Kreme place. I can’t buy a Buddha statue, Jeweled Flip-Flops, Sushi and Einstein Bagels during ONE shopping trip in any other location in town. And I’m afraid that means more to me than my donut loyalty. *sigh*
Our KK has a drive through and is ON THE WAY to target… so you can just drive through and head straight to Target. And, you can finish your doughnut and not worry about sticky fingers in the store. So, that works. And, my friend owns it and as long as he is working, mine are free! :):)
I was JUST talking to my husband about this! My Target has turned their back on the wonderful KK to! And there isn’t another place to get them within 50 miles of here!!!
But, I love me some Target, so I will get over it, eventually.
Don’t boycott Target!! Even though they’re stopping the Krispy Kreme they still have a lot to offer.
Like you said, you can still get KK at the KK place. It just means one more stop. But hey, for a fan like you, a little extra drive means nothin!
I hear you, sistah. Krispy Kremes are so good they ought to be outlawed. But here in Seattle, I just discovered these awesome donuts called “Top Pot Donuts” and MAN they are good.
And? My Starbucks just started carrying several Top Pot varieties, so now I can get my donut fix AND my latte in one fell swoop - on my way to Target.
Ok, I know t his is going to totally depress you. But…..I have….NEVER …..had ……a….Krispy Kreme donut. There I said it.
Are you ok? Zoot? You there? ….uh oh! maybe I shouldnt have said that.
hmmmm, apparently I don’t think our Target sells Krispy Kreme. It’s not a super Target though
But get this, we don’t even have a KK store in our town. If you want a HOT KK donut you got to drive 20 miles at LEAST.
Now you know why their CEO was fired and they hired another one who earns a reported $760 an hour.
Can anyone say “GREED?”
Okay, I’m getting so jealous about everyone talking about Krispy Kremes! I live in VT…go to the Krispy Kreme place and notice that VT is one of the ONLY states that doesn’t have Krispy Kremes! Are they really that good??
Man…I thought Target rocked with the Krispy Kremes. Hmmm…must re-think my target love…..The Krispy Kreme store isn’t that far away - I think I will have to stay in LOVE with target - for now!
Ohhhh I HATE having to make decisions….
How funny! We don’t live near a Krispy Kreme either! How do I live? My Target withdrawal was recently helped

You can’t give up Target, that would be like giving up something crazy like coffee or air!
sushi & kk at Target? LOL! Ours doesn’t have stuff like that.
Kim- “My Starbucks just started carrying….” In Seattle as well as where I live (Portland) we each can just about have our ‘own’ Starbucks. There is one every 20′ or so!
Cheers
Don’t boycott Target, even if they boycotted Bellringing Santas at Christmas
~K!
Dude, I love target. I’ve been known to drop something like $700 within 45 minutes there. That’s why The Hubby refuses to let me go unless he’s with me, cash and cards where I can’t gank them, hehe.
I think KK’s are purty good. It’s definitely a southern thing though… up in Detroit, Dunkin Donuts kicked ass… but down here, they suck it.
Something about those original glazed KK’s though… before you know it, you’ve gone through half the box. ‘Whoops, did I do that?’
krispy kreme the company was fraudulent from the word go, i pity not at all the shareholders who are losing their shirts.
KK is not serving donuts because they’re going broke. They fired their CFO because he expanded way too quick and way too big. I’m not a donut fan, I eat two and I’m going to barf they’re so sweet. But KK warm is good, and really the only way I’d eat them.
But Target…woman that’s the mother ship you cannot leave her–she needs us (well our momey that is.)
they just started selling KK at the grocery store near me… they are very close to perfect after you pop them in the microwave for 7-8 seconds (that’s the time for one). they come out all hot, soft and melt in your mouth yummy.
but it’s target so don’t poop on target and they’re kk so don’t poop on kk. you will find a way to get through this.
Yummm, now you have me in the mood for a donut. Let me tell ya, one time I had really really good seats at Yankee Stadium. The seats that come with waitress service and a menu of items available. Well at that time Krispys were not sold everywhere. So they offered a box of 4 donuts. So what the hell, I ordered them from the waitress with a couple of beers (yup its the new Atkins diet) anyway, the box of 4 donuts was MORE expensive then the 2 beers!
Target always wins. Always.
SUPER Target? What the hell? Is that like a Super Walmart? With a grocery section? Oh, lordy, praise be to the smart Target people. I can’t wait to come home.
