An Inside Look at Colorado’s Latest Krispy Kreme Doughnuts
Doughnut lovers across Colorado can rejoice, as there as of the second Tuesday of August 2024, there are four Krispy Kremes across the state.
It's funny how Krispy Kreme always opens new stores on a Tuesday; they must have done some research at some point that found that the second day of the week is best for new doughnut shops.
Or, it could be that the founder Vernon Rudolph liked Tuesday. Either way, one of America's favorite doughnut shops is now in Fort Collins.
It was in January of 2023, that Krispy Kreme announced they'd be breaking ground on a new location, the first for Northern Colorado, by March of that year; by the summer of the following year, where there was once a Fazoli's Italian restaurant, there was Krispy Kreme.
Krispy Kreme Opens Fort Collins, Colorado Location
This location, the first for Northern Colorado since they entered Colorado in 2001, is near the intersection of two major thoroughfares: Harmony Road and College Avenue, at 4824 South Mason.
Hitting up Krispy Kreme in Fort Collins took me back to a date I had in 2002, where the movie I took her to was so bad, that we ended up driving all the way down to south Denver to Colorado's only Krispy Kreme (at the time) to salvage the night.

Krispy Kremes are fun, in the fact that you get to see the fresh doughnuts roll along the conveyor line, being turned into "hot and ready" glazed doughnuts. Kids and adults alike have a hard time taking their eyes off the line.
