Krispy Kreme in Cebu

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Cebu branch will open tomorrow, October 22 in Ayala Center Cebu, the poster also says Cebu IT Park.  Try your luck to be part of the first 100 customers. Krispy Kreme have opening gifts / prizes for those earliest on the line – free one year supply of Krispy Kreme doughnuts for the 1^st customer and other prizes for those further down the line up to the 100th customer.

Cebuanos will  no longer have to wait for friends from Manila to bring them their original glazed Krispy Kreme donuts or their bestsellers like New York cheesecake doughnuts as pasalubong because they can now drop by the Krispy Kreme store in Ayala Center Cebu and get one or a dozen for themselves. Good eh? Pair it with their signature brewed coffee and you have a winning combo!

For sure, many people would camp out in mall doors just to be the first in line. But it will be fun to see how long the line will become and how unruly (or not) the people will be. Cebuanos are said to be competitive so expect a tight competition this Saturday. So, set your alarm clock on and drag yourself fast down to Ayala Center.

If you don’t want to brave long lines you may choose to wait and visit the store after a few months when the hype dies down, it will eventually die down. For those who are diabetics and sugar conscious, you should watch out because Krispy Kreme tend to be heavenly sweet.
