Krispy Kreme is Opening its First Bronx Shop

Last year Krispy Kreme signed a long-term lease for a 26,000+ square foot industrial space over in Zerega in The Bronx to serve as a base for its expanding New York City operations after announcing their massive, soon-to-open 45,000 square foot flagship in Times Square

Now today the company has announced that it’s opening 5 additional shops including one in The Bronx, bringing the famous donut shop to our borough.

Scheduled to open sometime next month, Krispy Kreme’s Bronx location will be at 371 E Fordham Road between Marion and Decatur Avenues just two blocks away from Fordham University.

We’ll probably still stick to our local Bronx bakeries for our freshly baked donuts but we’ll definitely indulge in a decadently glazed Krispy Kreme delight on occasion.

Oh, and in case you’re wondering, they’re still hiring for both the shop on Fordham and the warehouse in Zerega so take a look at their job openings here.
