History of Krispy Kreme
Krispy Kreme’s history began in the 1930s. According to legend, Vernon Rudolph, the founder of this famous doughnut brand, won the secret recipe for making yeast doughnuts in a poker game against a French chef in New Orleans.
He then rented a space in Old Salem, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, where he started selling Krispy Kreme doughnuts wholesale to supermarkets. However, the irresistible aroma of freshly baked doughnuts began to fill the streets, attracting passersby who eagerly asked if they could buy hot and fresh doughnuts.

Vernon seized the opportunity and decided to open a small hole in the wall of his building to sell directly to customers. Although Vernon passed away in 1976, his beloved Krispy Kreme brand lives on today.
In 2001, the company opened its first international store in Canada, near Toronto, a huge success that fueled its global expansion. By 2012, the brand had 500 stores outside the United States, and today it has over 1,400 locations in more than 33 countries.
What is celebrated on July 4th in the United States?
The Fourth of July, or Independence Day, is celebrated every year in the United States. On this day in 1776, delegates from the 13 British colonies located in what is now the U.S. signed the Declaration of Independence, officially declaring their separation from the British Empire and the birth of a new nation.
Later, on June 28, 1870, the U.S. Congress made July 4th a federal holiday. According to labor regulations, if the date falls on a Saturday, the holiday is observed on the previous Friday; if it falls on a Sunday, it is observed the following Monday.
