The historic Krispy Kreme store first opened in 1965. It was one of the first stores to be opened, outside of the company’s main base of operations. The beloved store donated 150 dozen donuts to Atlanta churches in April 1968 after Martin Luther King Jr.’s funeral
The historic store was bought by O’Neal in 2016. “I hope no one was hurt and we will bounce back better than ever,” O’Neal said after the fire was extinguished.
