Krispy Kreme is an American/global doughnut company with its headquarters the next county over in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Vernon Rudolph began selling the doughnuts as an 18 year old in 1933. Over the years, the business has expanded and they are now sold in Australia, Africa, Asia, and in many other parts of the world, with over 90 stores in Japan alone. If they turn on their signature “hot” sign when they have hot doughnuts for sale, they will be a hit in Japan, where sometimes sushi can be so fresh that its muscles quiver while you are eating it.

The Krispy Kreme cruiser was recently spotted at the Greensboro Coliseum in the exhibit hall during the US National Figure Skating Championships. It is known for traveling all over the United States and delivering donuts to people and places in need of a little sweetness in their life. It even has its own twitter account @KKDCruiser. The cruiser came about as a means of celebrating the company’s 77th birthday and the paint job  is meant to evoke the company’s delivery trucks from the 1940’s.

Today is ABC Wednesday and for our “Keep it Local” round, D is for Doughnut-cruiser. We know, last week we featured cake and this week doughnuts. We’re not planning to focus on food this entire round; however, for our friends with dietary restrictions over Lent, you have exactly two weeks to partake. How about having the last person at work today treat the office! Better yet, find someone worthy and nominate them for a visit from the Doughnut-mobile!
