Krispy Kreme returning to Philadelphia

After closing its last Philadelphia-area stores five years ago, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Inc. said today it will open an outlet here early in November.

To staff the store with a planned 60 employees, the local franchisees, Keith Morgan and Brian Zaslow, will hold a job fair from Oct. 6 through Oct. 16, except for Sunday, Oct. 10. The fair will be at the store, 7855 Oxford Ave.

Krispy Kreme, Winston-Salem, N.C., left the Philadelphia market in December 2005 amid restated corporate earnings, a federal accounting investigation and shareholder lawsuits.    -Paul Schweizer
