Krispy Kreme Told A Man To Stop Selling Doughnuts Out Of His Trunk!

Minnesota man got served a cease and desist order from Krispy Kreme after he shared his cross state journey to make money.

Sweet goodness has a price.

A Minnesota man is getting a lawsuit because of a good deed. Since Minnesota doesn't have a local Krispy Kreme doughnut location in the state, he decided to travel to Iowa to grab him a box.

He shared them with his friends and they loved it. They said they'll pay him money to go grab a box.

So he did.

He decided to make it a business. He offered to go across state lines to purchase the doughnuts and charge the people wanting them a few dollars more because of the drive.

Every weekend he would travel to Clive, Iowa, a suburb of Des Moines to the local Krispy Kreme and purchase at least $200 worth of doughnuts. He would travel back to Champlin, Minnesota and start selling out the trunk of his car in the metro Minneapolis-St. Paul area.

A box of Krispy Kreme dozen cost at least $10.99. He was selling them for $20 per box.

When the St. Paul Pioneer Press reported on his deeds. It got Krispy Kreme's attention.

They demanded him to stop selling the doughnuts. They said that he poses a liability by traveling across the state lines. Krispy Kreme said that people could sue the company if they get sick of the doughnuts if the were contaminated or spoiled.

Known as Jayson Gonzalez (aka The Donut Guy) he started a Facebook page and urges folks to support his bid to at least own a franchise in the Twin Cities.



He is a senior at Metropolitan State University and he said that he is working to pay off debts.

The company is considering his bid to own a store in the area. Gonzalez said that he will shut down his cross state journey if they give him the approval to start his own Krispy Kreme store.

Dayton, Ohio lost its only Krispy Kreme Doughnuts location in 2015.

Folks would travel miles to get a Krispy Kreme Doughnut.

Tim Hortons is now closing up locations in the area and ending its 24/7 business hours for the remaining locations in the Dayton area.

The Gilligan Company is proposing more opening of Burger King, Popeye's Louisiana Chicken and Dunkin (Donuts) locations in the Miami Valley. Some Dunkin locations are going to open up in Huber Heights, Tipp City and Englewood. Popeye's is eying the Huber Heights and Troy area.

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts locations as far as I know are in Cincinnati. There is one location.

In Columbus there are three locations.
