WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., Aug. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The early-September opening of a new Krispy Kreme Doughnut Factory at 10781 Alpharetta Hwy, Roswell, Georgia 30076 will mark the start of the international sweet treat retailer's planned expansion efforts in the Atlanta metropolitan area. Efforts that will include the construction of a number of new doughnut shops, and the creation of nearly 350 full and part-time jobs by early 2014.

"Krispy Kreme has been in the Atlanta market for decades and it is still incredible to see how well our brand resonates with Atlanta area doughnut and coffee fans," says Cindy Bay, SVP of US Franchises and Company Stores for Krispy Kreme. "As Krispy Kreme continues its growth throughout the country, we are especially excited to be bringing new shops, new jobs and a number of delicious new products to this community."

At present, there are eight Krispy Kreme shops in operation throughout metro Atlanta. In September, Krispy Kreme will replace its existing Atlanta Street facility in Roswell with a new 2,500 square foot Alpharetta Hwy shop featuring the company's updated interior design and finishes. 

Construction plans are currently underway for the remaining approved sites in Doraville, Smyrna and Stockbridge, Georgia.  Krispy Kreme is also working to secure sites in Decatur and Duluth, Georgia.

Each of the future locations will be an approximately 2,400 square foot free-standing facility with a drive-thru, Hot Light™, and feature the company's new prototype interior and exterior design and architecture. 

All locations will offer more than a dozen varieties of Krispy Kreme's one-of-a-kind doughnuts, including the signature hot Original Glazed®, as well as a complete menu of Krispy Kreme Chillers®,  iced beverages and Krispy Kreme Signature Coffee Blends.
