krispy kream


The Krispy Kream on Skidaway has closed its doors forever.
If you are a native Savannahian this is shocking news.
The place was an absolute icon.
It's been there forever.
It was there when I was a teenager.
Comfort food.
Coffee and doughnuts fresh off the press.
The sign out front in neon lights...
"Hot Doughnuts Now."

I haven't eaten a doughnut in years but Jake and Eli love them.
We made several trips to Krispy Kreme when they were here for Thanksgiving.
The place was in bad shape.
No more indoor service.
The drive-through was ridiculous.
Only one person working.
Long lines.
Angry people.
High prices.
Doughnuts half the size they used to be.
Not surprising that it closed.

There is another Krispy Kream in town but it is on the other side of town.
Jake and Eli will still be able to have their doughnuts,
6 original glazed and six chocolate-covered glazed,
but it won't be the same.

Everything is changing
All the good stuff is going away.
Bubba wouldn't recognize this world we live in.
