MANHATTAN – Neighbors won’t have to wait much longer to satisfy their sweet tooth with piping hot sugary glazed donuts fresh from Krispy Kreme’s latest expansion in the city— a brand new donut shop on Lexington Avenue near East 86th Street on the Upper East Side.
Krispy Kreme made the announcement on Facebook this week— inviting everyone to the grand opening of their new donut shop at 1276 Lexington Avenue on Tuesday, October 12th at 7:00 am.
