Whether you grew up with a Krispy Kreme Donut store in your neighborhood or you just tasted a delicious, original hot glazed Krispy Kreme donut for the first time you may be surprised to know that the company has been around for over 70 years! It all started in the late thirties. With steady growth it was sold to Beatrice Foods and later was bought back by a group of franchisees. Then, suddenly in 2000, Krispy Kreme went public, became a modern American icon and an international BREAKAWAY BRAND!
The Krispy Kreme story has important lessons for those luxury real estate marketing professionals who are determined to breakaway from their competition and pursue market leadership in their marketplace. Creating an indelible personal brand and sparking a chain reaction of buzz is challenging, but it can be extremely rewarding if it is executed effectively and sustained.
The word-of-mouth advertising about these premium, high quality donuts was like a shot heard around the world. Move over Winchell's donuts, which opened their first donut shop on October 8, 1948. Winchell's is the West Coast's largest donut chain with over 170 units, in 12 states, plus locations in Guam, Saipan, and Saudi Arabia. Move over Dunkin' Donuts, the world's largest coffee and baked goods chain, with more than 7,000 Dunkin' Donuts shops worldwide.
