The world-famous Original Glazed® doughnut first came about from a man named Vernon Rudolph who purchased a recipe and made the doughnuts using a screen, kettle and washtub,
The first Krispy Kreme doughnuts were made in Winston-Salem, North Carolina on July 13, 1937, in case you want to mark that date for the official birthday. By the end of the year, Rudolph had eight company trucks delivering doughnuts throughout the area, known today as the Triad.
