Krispy Kreme Arriving Soon In Pearland
The "Hot Donuts Now" sign will soon be lighting up the sky at 11450 Broadway. Yes, that's right, Krispy Kreme is back in the Houston area and made its way right into our backyard!
The history of
Krispy Kreme dates back to July 13, 1937 (that will be 80 years ago this week) when Vernon Rudolph bought a secret yeast-raised doughnut recipe from a New Orleans French chef, rented a building in what is now historic Old Salem in Winston-Salem, NC, and began selling Krispy Kreme doughnuts to local grocery stores.
In 1989 the first retail Krispy Kreme store opened in Greensboro, N.C.. This then laid the path to shaped donuts in 2000; the first International shop in Canada in 2001; 2011 Krispy Kreme coffee and the Hot Light App; and in 2015 the 1,000 Krispy Kreme store opened.
Quite a history, and some of you may remember back in the late 1990's, Krispy Kreme had a few locations in the Houston area. However, by 2006, there was a whole franchise
disagreement and just like that Krispy Kreme was gone!
However, in the mean time, Texas favorites,
Shipley Donuts continued to rise as local favorites.
Their glazed donuts and donut holes are mouth watering deliciousness in a box - or bag, depending on how much you want to indulge!
In Pearland,
Pena's Donut Heaven has also been on the donut scene.
Pena's has two Pearland locations - one at 11601 Shadow Creek Parkway, Ste. 103 and the other at 10555 Pearland Parkway - they have both sides of Pearland covered! Now, I'm not a food critic, but getting Pena's donut holes right out of the oven......WOW!!!!....they MELT in your mouth!!!!!
We can't forget to mention
Dunkin Donuts as well.
Although, the closest store to the Pearland area seems to be at 10840 Scarsdale Blvd.. Dunkin's coffee drinks are a force to be reckoned with and are being made more famous by being the drink of choice for the judges of America's Got Talent.
So, now here is the question.....well, first, we bet you are craving a donut! Where will that donut come from???? The newly franchised Krispy Kreme? Texas born Shipley's? Pearland born and raised Pena's?? Or drive a little bit and hit Dunkin??
The kids vote:
Pena's - 2 votes

Now it's up to YOU!!
