Krispy Kreme Opens On UWS: Doughnut Lovers Rejoice

UPPER WEST SIDE, NY — The new Krispy Kreme location on the Upper West Side opened its doors to customers on Tuesday.

The doughnut sanctuary is located at 2563 Broadway, between West 96th and 97th Streets.

Krispy Kreme will offer everything from its iconic glazed doughnuts to strawberry iced with sprinkles to apple fritters to a variety of doughnut holes.

The doughnut shop will also offer the seasonal caramel glazed and double salted caramel crunch doughnuts through Nov. 22.

"Krispy Kreme doughnuts really have a way of delighting and we're passionate about bringing that energy to our customers, especially in a city that's seen so much in the last several months," said Christine Kobrynich, the Director of Operations for Krispy Kreme's New York team, in a news release. "We're excited to ramp up the sweetness in the Upper West Side and continue backing the resurgence of New York City."

"I have enjoyed meeting some of our neighbors and look forward to making a positive impact in the community," Kobrynich added.

The new location on the Upper West Side is part of Krispy Kreme's plan to open seven shops in New York City by the end of 2020.

In September, Krispy Kreme opened a flagship location in Times Square.

For the Upper West Side location, Krispy Kreme will randomly give out 120 celebration tickets to customers that grant them a dozen free glazed doughnuts to redeem before the end of the year.

The shop will be open from Sunday through Thursday from 7:00 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Friday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. It will also offer delivery for locals, and employ 24 newly hired team members and managers.
