Huge crowds showed up to the opening of Dublin city centre's newest Krispy Kreme store, with some people showing up at 5am, two hours before the official 7am opening time.
Located in the city’s new Central Plaza building, this is Krispy Kreme’s first store in town and is situated at the popular pedestrian walkway linking Dame Street to Temple Bar. And fans of the delicious doughnuts will be delighted to hear that it will have late opening hours.
It comes four years after the first Krispy Kreme opened in Blanchardstown. There are now six stores in Dublin in total, including Swords, Charlestown, Dundrum and Liffey Valley Shopping Centre.
