    First getting its corporate bearings on July 13, 1937 in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts have seen the many stages of financial gain and loss.

All Krispy Kreme shops were made with a green roof, a red-glazed brick exterior, a viewing window inside, an overhead conveyer for doughnut production, and bar stools. Original owner Vernon Rudolph in 1973, so Harding continued the growth and under their management the company’s revenues grew from more than $1 million in 1954 to $58 in 1974. Two years later, Beatrice Foods bought Krispy Kreme and tried to make some changes to the brand image and doughnut recipe. After seeing how the changes negatively affected sales, the owners changed the lettering and recipe back to the originals. A group of franchisees bought out the company in 1982 and due to double-digit interest rates no expansion was made.

However, the Krispy Kreme empire languished after the first adverse result announcement in May 2004. Wall Street analysts slammed the brakes on and began to doubt the company, including the franchise accounting practices and executive compensation. They said that Krispy Kreme had been expended too fast and its profit was highly related with the number of franchised stores.
