JudyS Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Oh! Krispy Kreme! Please come to Boquete, or at least to David (maybe better, since I wouldn't eat so many). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penny Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I remember when Krispy Kreme opened in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Lines around the block. They were my favorite when I lived in North Carolina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarieElaine Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I first had Krispy Kreme in Tampa, FL and I do not see what the hype is all about. It was just an average donut to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarieElaine Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 As a Canadian, I prefer Tim Horton Donuts. I do not have much of a sweet tooth so maybe I am not the right person to compare products. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure the Barcenas family will open this franchise in the main cities in Panama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
