Krispy Kreme started in Winston-Salem in 1937 – watch the doughnut line and grab them hot.

Winston-Salem is Krispy Kreme's hometown – the company began here in 1937. A visit to one of the local shops when the "Hot Now" light is on is a small but very Winston-Salem ritual, especially with kids.

Tip: grab a dozen for the house – breakfast is sorted.
