Article from The Daily Wire by Ashe Schow.
For months, Minnesota resident Jayson Gonzalez would drive nearly four hours from his home in Champlin to Clive, Iowa, in order to purchase dozens of boxes of Krispy Kreme doughnuts before making the four-hour drive home.
In total, Gonzalez packed his Ford Focus with up to 100 boxes, each with 12 doughnuts inside. As The St. Paul Pioneer Press reported, Gonzalez charged customers $17-$20 per box, with some spending upwards of $100 on each of his trips. The money Gonzalez made went toward his college education.
…
Gonzalez told the Pioneer Press that Krispy Kreme had told him to “cease” and “desist,” suggesting his small business could create a liability for them, even though the young entrepreneur bought the doughnuts at full cost out of his own pocket.

It’s not a Krispy Kreme’s damn business what he does with them. There’s no way in hell they’re responsible for anything he does after he leaves that store!
Yes, it is Krispy’s business. If someone gets sick from one or more of those doughnuts (for getting to warm in the car, for instance), that person WILL sue Krispy Kreme. Their liability stays with the package all the way home.
UUUUUHHH….. How are they going to get”warm” in the car when they’re fresh from the fryer?!??? Your “concern” is amazing! There is no judge in the world (welllll…. maybe a ‘bamaite) would uphold a suit like that. That would be like me buying siding from Menards & them being held responsible for my installation on a customer’s house.
That’s what entrepreneurship is all about.
ROFLMAO…….SMH
THEY TASTE GREAT, BUT WILL GIVE YOU TYPE 2 DIABEATIES. THEY USE THE MOSY=T UN HEALTHY INGREDINACE IN THERE FOOD.
Damn public schools!
I’m 71 years old and still remember our high school in Georgia selling Krispy Kreme doughnuts to raise money for various projects. Funny, how that was never a problem then. 🙁
Maybe we didn’t have today’s litigious climate then.
It appears, that Krispy Kreme is racist! Why are they denying this young Hispanic man the right to make money! i hate hypocrites!
And how did you determine that to be racist? You don’t know that.
That was sarcasm.
If he’s not breaking the law tell KK to pound donuts. Of course Minnesota will want to collect sales tax
Why doesn’t Krispy Cream open more stores so people can buy them that wants them? There are only one or two stores in Maryland. I like them better Dunkin Donuts but they are not available near me. There are plenty of customers in the area.
It is not as he is selling an inferior product, unless Krispy makes an inferior product.
They should pay this young man for the trip – mileage and wear and tear on the vehicle plus a commission on all the donuts sold. How stupid of them to not make this a mutual advantage for everyone! In fact they should start deliveries everywhere but of course without guarantees on hot and fresh like at the stores. It just goes to show you how some companies eventually shoot themselves in the foot or as some might say get “dunked”. Are you listening Dunkin Donuts?
Never was impressed by KK. Find a Dunkin Donuts.
KK should buy him a mid-sized SUV so he could haul 300 to 500 boxes…
He could probably make a good doughnut to sell and not waste his gas. Oh, that’s right he would have to rent a professional kitchen, get a license to have the kitchen, pay to rent it, purchase everything he needs to make doughnuts, be a inspected, pay taxes and go on the “hole” and never be able to go to college.
