Triumph of the Slightly Less Lethal

Krispy Kreme down to a half-dozen stores in Canada

The lineups and the media buzz are gone, and so are most of its stores. Krispy Kreme, which entered Canada with a bang, has shrivelled to a half-dozen doughnut stores.

KremeKo Inc., which has exclusive franchise in every province except British Columbia, filed for protection from its creditors on April 15. It tried to find a suitable buyer this summer but was unsuccessful.

KremeKo hopes that it can salvage its six remaining stores.

See, you just don't mess with Tim Hortons. Nobody can defeat the all-powerful Timmy's!!!

(Of course, the idea that people are staying away from Krispy Kreme because of health concerns is hillarious. Seen the obesity rates lately? People are opting for the healthier options of McDonalds, Burger King, and Wendy's.
