Here's a video from CBS 47, regarding the Fresno Krispy Kreme, which is set to close August 10, 2007:

Personally, I don't think that this is much of a surprise, being that they are not that much better than the various mom-and-pop doughnut shops around town, but yet their prices are significantly higher.
DELICIOUS TIP: To get the-same-or-better effect as their famous "Hot Now" glazed doughnuts, simply buy a glazed donut from any mom-and-pop doughtnut shop and microwave it for 15-30 seconds. As Mr. Food would say, OOH IT'S SO GOOD!!

Wow! Real Onions
They use real onions for their onion rings? How do they find real onions? They are so rare. ;)
I have only had White Castle once and it was the frozen ones you can buy at a grocery store. I am sure it is not the same as a truly real one. Did you ever see "Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle"? That movie made me want to have a White Castle burger so much. A funny movie , too.
commercial?
Hey Eric, you ever put any thought into doing a commercial for White Castle, with your discription I'm sure they would sell dozens of them here.
Just one more word on that. NASTY!!!
oh wharrff, you must be kidding me...
Okay, I admit that Charbucks is an acquired taste (and I don't speak the language, which keeps me away from their counter because I don't enjoy, just wanting a cup of coffee and feeling like I'm at the French Embassy, trying to ask out the Chancellors daughter while wearing nothing but a duckie life preserver and a big sign that says
'...please, mercy,,, just a light and sweet pumpkin-hazel-chutney, large,,, ah-da-hellwitit....'
'Dunkin Donuts' coffee (they are all over back east,)
for some reason tastes to me like it has some sort of sausage grase mixed into it,
---and they freakin insist on serving it at like, 8,000 degrees... (I am not exaggerating, this stuff can burn through a car, (not the seats, not the paint, -whole freakin car,
---RAIL Car at that...
Their waitstaff wear the same gear that aluminum smelters do, (you know, those big silver asbestos suits with the welder-goggles glass in the hoods?)
Now:
As for White Castle.
Islamic extremists at a Madonna concert fell LESS passionately about their beliefs than I do about White Castle.
These things are AMAZING.
You start putting up WhiteCastles in the Valley?
This place will become a paradise over night.
Bad for you?
Of course they are.
Actually made of real meat?
...it's the meat of something.
-Grease?
-You will find less grease in the rear differential of a Massey-Ferguson Tractor... (only White castle Grease tastes better,)
-Their onion rings?
Spectacular, they use real onions and yellow crumbs, (real!)
-But is 'WhiteCastle' better than 'In and Out?'
Totally unfair comparrison.
'In and Out' is ACTUAL food.
-Dude, 'In and Out' has hamburger and other vegitables ans stuff (yuck,) slaughtered and cooked to make a meal.
WhiteCastle?
-deliberately made from the leftovers of god-only-knows what,
---and will make most contestants of 'fear-factor,' blow chunks at the mere sight...
THAT's what makes them so GOOD...
You wolf down nine of those puppies and a bladder-buster thing of coke (with onion rings,)
-in a car full of guys who all do the same?
-Give it a half hour?
THERE's your weapons of freakin' mass destruction, Dubya.
(And lemme tell ya, next morning will crack the tiles in the loo, too.)
To gearheads and guys raised along the Jersey Shore, WhiteCastle is not just 'food,' it's a reason to drive three hours crammed like sardines in a '68 camaro, -trawling for babes,
--and then hoping to god you don't find any, because this stuff renders the digestive system a complete war-zone,
(three guys in a chevette, a few Nugent cassettes?
(though Foghat or Zep will do,)
You CAN and WILL take over an entire developing country simply by asking to use the mens room...)
If you people can survived a taquierra and roach coach on every other block, ---you'll do just fine with a white-castle.
(just don't tell the vegans, or PETA, homeland defence.)
4 months more till I get me some of them little square beauties... (and no, I am NOT going to share.)
(PS: they're open 24 hours, and do breakfast lunch and dinner.)
Hahaha white castle is horrible. Please don't wish for that. In-N-Out is the best burger joint in the nation, I hope it stays where it is forever. As for Dunkin' Donuts, I agree, it's great. I don't really eat donuts, but most people who go there don't. That's what many people don't get about it. They really should call it Dunkin' Coffee, as it's their number one seller. And the coffee is AWESOME, way better than Starbucks. Breakfast sandwhiches are good too, as are the muffins and bagels. Yeah, they pretty much have everything, despite the name. But there is only one on entire whole west coast, somewhere in Oregon. Maybe one day they'll come to California. There was one in Lima, Peru when I went there. I can't see why they can't come here.
for whom the bell tells
i'm not sad at all that krispy kreme is closing. they were a multi-million dollar company that rapidly expanded, and now seems to be shrinking back to it's southern base, if not completely collapsing.
white castle burgers are terrible. in n out burgers are 100x better. and, yes, that is only my opinion. but, in n out should take notice of krispy kreme. if they expand too quickly, they'll end up closing shop in whatever distant locale they move to.
Little lost
I've always preferred dunkin' donuts. Do they have DD in Fresno?
Oh Noes?
While I certainly feel bad for those who enjoyed it for whatever reason, I personally do not find this much of a loss. Krispy Kreme is, for me, the McDonalds of donuts. It's fine if you have no other option, but I'd rather get preservative-filled Hostess donut or, far better, a nice generic pink-boxed mom and pop donut.
Now if they'd just replace In-N-Out with a more interesting burger joint... maybe one of those White Castles so many people whisper about.
Sad day for those who liked it, but honestly, the mom and pop shops are better.
Krispy Kreme donuts have that uniform every-one's-the-same feeling about them that just isn't any fun.
Give me the mom & pop's, where they actually cover the whole donut with glaze. First choice is the little joint on Shields and Maroa. Used to be Jimmy's then Yummy's, and I think they changed the name again.
