Krispy Kreme<\/strong>, one of America\u2019s largest doughnut chains, is celebrating their 84th<\/sup> birthday. The chain\u2019s longevity is worthy of praise, however there is something extra to celebrate this year. The company has thrived during a pandemic that closed many restaurants<\/a> down and it has successfully launched an IPO this year. To recognize the occasion, the company is offering a dozen glazed doughnuts for a $1 with the purchase of a dozen.<\/p>\n

Krispy Kreme was able to increase their revenue during a time which caused the opposite for competitors. Part of the company\u2019s success is likely due to their streamlined service model that was tailor made for a pandemic<\/a>. Many Krispy Kreme locations<\/a> already featured a drive thru and boxed doughnuts were an easy pick up for third party delivery services. Krispy Kreme stores also run on a tight schedule and food is not traditionally made to order which allows for lower staffing during business hours. The company also uses a very small subset of ingredients for their products which helped them avoid the supply chain issues that plagued the industry. Their simple menu gave them an edge on other quick service chains that had cut menu items and juggle complex orders.<\/p>\n
