Krispy Kreme in Cebu
You read that right! Krispy Kreme is finally going to be in hand’s reach here in Cebu! 
Come October 2011, two new Krispy Kreme stores will be opened — one in Active Zone, Ayala Center Cebu and another one in Asia Premier Residences, Asiatown IT Park. 
Gone are the days when Cebuanos would ask friends or family members going to Manila to bring some Krispy Kreme doughnuts back home. Guilty addict here! 
Well, I’ve got a sweet tooth, and Krispy Kreme is just lucky enough to be a victim. Bwahaha! 
This was taken way before we even knew Krispy Kreme was coming to Cebu.
A Sweeter Treat Beyond Luzon
Five years after Krispy Kreme set foot in the Philippines, the confectionary company immediately garnered its own niche leading to an extensive expansion across Metro Manila.
Krispy Kreme opened its 1st store at Bonifacio Global City in November 2006. At present, Krispy Kreme boasts of 23 stores that serve renowned melt-in-your mouth doughnuts and coffee.
“We achieved what the Americans have been feasting on since 1930′s — the famous Krispy Kreme doughnut line, best served after the hot light outside the store flashes on,” says Jim Fuentebella, Chairman of Krispy Kreme Philippines. “And we also experienced the long lines that people in the US do, every time a new store opens for business.”
In fact, what the Filipinos did was more than just a line. True to Krispy Kreme’s passion for fun and excitement, the first customers get a month or even a year long supply of Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Thus, some camped near the branch hours and even days before the new store’s opening.
And this is probably the scene that Cebuanos should expect now that Krispy Kreme is about to land on the celebrated Queen City of the South.
“Bringing Krispy Kreme in one of the country’s most vibrant cities is just one of the results of our continuous expansion outside Metro Manila,” says Fuentebella.
Meanwhile, Mark Gamboa, Marketing Manager of Krispy Kreme Philippines, says that the Krispy Kreme branch in Cebu will also offer wide varieties of doughnuts and beverages that made Krispy Kreme famous across the globe.
“We want to share the Krispy Kreme experience in our Cebu market, thus we are bringing what the brand has to offer all the way down to the south,” says Gamboa. “From the world’s famous Original Glazed, yeast-raised and cake doughnut varieties, to our Signature Coffee and its different hot and cold variants — they can experience them all.”
Surely, Krispy Kreme Cebu is poised to be a sweet-destination-treat in the thriving Cebu Business District. Surrounded with sophisticated establishments, green landscapes and orchestrated water features, Krispy Kreme’s future location promises a relaxing yet refined surroundings of Cebu.
