Come this fall, Krispy Kreme will sell its sugary sweets to downtown workers and tourists from a new store on Fayetteville Street.
The company has confirmed plans to open a Neighborhood Shop in one of the four 900-square-foot "pavilion" buildings flanking the new City Plaza.
The store will be the second Neighborhood Shop opened by the doughnut company in the Triangle this year, following the opening of one in Knightdale's Shoppes at Midway Plantation that is coming up on Monday.
However, don't look for the Hot Now sign downtown. Neighborhood Shops offer a full range of Krispy Kreme products but do not make doughnuts on-site. Instead the other Raleigh store on Person Street will provide doughnuts for all three locations.
Kripsy Kreme says the new downtown Raleigh store will open at the end of October.
