As stated previously, Peters Creek Pkwy is probably the easiest, but the new DD on Spring Garden & Holden is just maybe 1.5 miles from the Coliseum if you need a second fix. From the Coliseum just take Patterson & hang a right on Holden. You can double back on Patterson & take it straight to 40W.

Thanks all. We will be heading out soon. Now if I could just figure out where the Sam's clubs are in relation to I-40. The websites should have exit #'s for out of towners to make things easier, lol.

Have a great weekend everyone and thanks.

Money problems. They darn near went bankrupt in 2004-2005.

KK did have plans several years back to build a very large retail/residential/entertainment complex - had the land picked out, plans drawn up ... it was big news in the W-S papers. Then that company's shaky finances came to light, plus their ambitions to become the Starbuck's of the donut world went bust.

With better leadership, the company is pulling itself out of that vat of bad oil, to coin a pun Analysts say that that they should stick to what they know best: how to make sugar bombs, and not try to blow any more money on grandiose plans.

Well we made it to the DD on exit 192. It was very disappointing. It got more expensive and the donuts shrunk. What else is new?

I've never been to a KK maybe I'll have to try it one of these years.

I can't stand even entering a krispy kreme shop. You can get a sugar rush and gain 5 lbs just breathing the air not a big sweets guy so it makes me nauseous

They changed the DD formula, unfortunately They no longer taste like they used to, sadly enough.

I always base my "RV" trips around being able to get large and massive quanities of Dounuts. Why don't you just freeze a whole bunch since and carry them with you in your giant vehicle since you are concerned about taking huge amounts of calories while your butt if planted

I love personal attacks that have massive amounts of typos. Makes you sound REALLY credible. It's obvious you have WAY too much time when you spend it trolling forums 6 states away from you and rendering insults. Have fun double clicking your mouse!

Though I'm too late to help the original poster the following is a FYI;
There are 3 DDs in Greensboro: Intersection of Cridland Rd/ W Wendover, E Wendover across from the GTCC campus, & the intersection of Spring Garden/ Holden Rd (just opened as crowe1856 stated).
There is also a DD location on Eastchester Dr in High Point in front of Office Depot
