Krispy Kreme to open flagship store in Times Square, offer 'immersive' doughnut experience
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}We can’t say the aroma of doughnuts would be an unwelcome smell amid the countless odors of Times Square, one of NYC’s most heavily trafficked areas.
On Monday, Krispy Kreme announced plans to open a flagship location in the heart of Manhattan, complete with “immersive and interactive” features and “stadium-style” seating.

The flagship store – all 4,500 square feet of it – will open up on the corner of 48th St. and Broadway sometime in early 2020.

In promising “the most awesome doughnut experience imaginable,” the Times Square Krispy Kreme will not only showcase the doughnut-making process at its “iconic doughnut theater” — as many stores currently do — but it will also include stadium-style seating inside a larger-than-life doughnut box, pointed at the "theater" from just across the shop.
