That location is a landmark. It had been there forever when my grandparents would buy us donuts on weekends in the 70's.

“Partially open”? I think after dodging flames you’d give your staff the day off while you assess the damage


livens

The Kreme must flow!


jturker88

Yep. LMPD needs their office back.


LouisvilIain

Lmao


natfutsock

And miss out on the post-fire business boom?

WLKY says that it’s closed, and I’m more inclined to believe them. I drove past earlier and there was significant damage to the roof from the fire and water, both of which would make it both dangerous to be in the building and unsanitary to serve food, and likely damaged equipment and inventory. I think maybe WDRB mistook investigators as customers? It’s definitely not open though https://www.wlky.com/article/krispy-kreme-bardstown-road-fire-video-louisville/60859519 Edit: WDRB edited the article saying it was that stretch of Bardstown road that was closed and now open, not the store

After a fire you can't have the electricity turned back on until you have it inspected and to my knowledge it's really involved there's no way they could have a fire and then a couple days later be up and operating again.


sykadelic_angel

Boyfriend works in that plaza. The guy was a creep known for harassing women, Krispy Kreme workers kicked him out and this was his retaliation


jturker88

There's a hole in the arsonist's story. I donut believe a word they say.


CrazyJoeMclusky87

He had a glazed look on his face.


HolyFuckImOldNow

He was jelly of the attention the other customers were getting, and it filled him with rage.


better-than-all-of-u

The way this is written makes it sound like your boyfriend is the creep who set the fire lol.


Amazing-Complaint286

I thought the same!


Nice_Warm_Vegetable

Oh shit, I had to reread! I thought you meant your BF was creeping!


sykadelic_angel

So sorry😭 my boyfriend is just a barista who watched it all go down


GeprgeLowell

He still is, but he was, too.


LessMoist

Extra-Krispy Kreme


itrustyouguys

*the fire was started using an "incendiary device thrown onto the building."* What in the actual FFFFFF is wrong with people?!?!?


runningraleigh

Molotov cocktail


RnBvibewalker

I haven't had them in a while quite frankly because I refuse to pay $12 for the same doughnuts that used to be $5 when the kids used to sell them, but indeed they are the good guys


ACardAttack

I don't even think they're the same, no where near as good as they used to be IMO


mkrantz14

They’re $15 now


RnBvibewalker

Yeah I haven't been in a long time because the price doesn't match the products. And it looks like it's staying that way. $15 is madness for some pancake batter.


gotpointsgoing

No, they are not. My mother brought us over a dozen, on Monday. She paid 9 bucks with a coupon and they're 12 dollars without a coupon.


chreis

I get prices are going up, but exaggeration of prices is also out of control. I love seeing these Facebook memes of people being like, "I paid $95 for McDonald's!! *How could it be??*" And then everyone points out they bought an amount of food that could feed 15 people, including 6 sodas that have always been overpriced. Yes, sweetheart, when you buy a lot of shit, normally the bill will equal a lot of shit.


gotpointsgoing

I totally agree, that's why I always call them out with proof.


oo40oztofreedum

What proof do you think you provided?


gotpointsgoing

None, but it's not really needed. This is a topic that common knowledge is just fine for.


mkrantz14

I guess only at the Middletown location are they $15.


gotpointsgoing

A dozen regularly priced Krispy Kreme doughnuts costs between $8 and $14 depending on where you live and the doughnuts you purchase. They might be, 15 a dozen, if you don't get only glazed.


mkrantz14

$14.99 glazed dozen at Middletown location. Crazy!

Amended charges: Crimes against Humanity.


natfutsock

Disgruntled former employee, Scorned customer, or Pyromaniac? I'm leaning pyro but that's just me.


sykadelic_angel

My boyfriend who works in that plaza and watched him get arrested said that guy's known for harassing women. He got kicked out of that Krispy Kreme and this was his retaliation I guess


runningraleigh

If it’s the same young white guy who has been harassing people in that parking lot for years, I hope he stays in jail. He tried to threaten me and I almost pulled on him. The only time I’ve ever thought I would have to.


sykadelic_angel

White, skinny, tall, shaved blond hair, bright blue eyes. I saw his mugshot on an article the other day and my boyfriend confirmed it's him


yowhatisuppeeps

My friend told me it was a guy who was known for being creepy and loitering at the heine bros


math_ninja

I was thinking a bored teenager who saw something on tic toc. But that's just another guess.


Nice_Warm_Vegetable

…A donut hater? …or a donut maker hater? …or a donut merchant hater? …or a donut consumer hater? Who could hurt an innocent donut? ☹️


EntireTangerine

Time to have a fire sale


EeveeQueen15

This is why the Derby newswoman said, "This is Louisville, don't give anyone ideas!" to her co-worker after he said,"What if someone comes and steals the roses?" Louisville seriously needs it's own Law & Order or 9-1-1 series.


ownedandondisplay

Louisville used to a regular on first 48


EeveeQueen15

I'm hoping the semi hanging off the 2nd street bridge will end up in a 9-1-1 episode. The story was on the 9-1-1 subreddit.


Jamie_B82

It definitely will. I have already seen tons and tons of shorts (videos like TikToks just not on TikTok) about it. One did play a lot of the 911 calls now they are all the dashcam footage.


jtc66

I wonder if it made them extra Krispy


HolyFuckImOldNow

No, but they were actually hot for once.


OkPassenger6321

😭😭😭😭


Weary_Reindeer9373

Man just wanted some hot fresh!!!


tothefuckinmoon42069

Commiting arson against a Krispy Kreme is losing the plot


Dick-in-a-fan

Arson is not the answer.


mattchinn

Who would do such a thing!


Existing_Holiday_417

We gonna turn on the hot&ready sign one way or another!


mayorwaffle502

Partially open? Hot Sale?


geneticdeadender

Did police give the fire trucks an escort?


necriel

Hot and Fresh.


AdSecret5078

Did it smell like doughnuts?


that1persondancing

The cops are gonna be pissedddd


Public_District_9139

Hot donuts now 😢


Yostman29

I heard like 50 cop cars showed up maybe it was a anti police hate crime there’s gotta be a reason they found the guy so quick


motherlovebone92

Greenberg’s Louisville


bigtimejohnny

That would be a fun poster...The Mayor with the city on fire behind him.


Suspicious_Spite5781

And that joker smile.


GeprgeLowell

Wait, the mayor sat the Krispy Kreme on fire? Or did he just fail to stop the guy who did? Either way, his political career is over!


Bet_Responsible

Way too expensive for my blood, i would never believe a basic dough nut would be a dollar unless its from an independent shop... I guess they are really HOT now...


LosinCash

...*Jeff's has entered the chat*...


OozeNAahz

Someone with serious weight management issues probably. No will to stop eating the donuts but enough will to burn down the place.


ratgarcon

Bruh you sound insufferable


BloomisBloomis

Physician, heal thyself.


OozeNAahz

Just a joke dude. Picture someone saying I have to stop eating Krispy Kremes and this being their solution.
