Krispy Kreme to sprout in New Tampa this spring

NEW TAMPA -- Krispy Kreme, the venerable doughnutmaker, is coming to New Tampa this spring.

The new store, near the intersection of Bruce B. Downs Boulevard and Dona Michelle Drive, will feature hot coffee and doughnuts served under Krispy Kreme's distinctive green tile roof.

The company, which began with the purchase of a secret doughnut recipe from a New Orleans chef, now sells more than 5-million doughnuts a day and 2-billion every year.
