As seen in the Louisville Courier-Journal:

Highlights from the article:
It was on July 13, 67 years ago, that the scrumptiously delicious, melt-in-your mouth confection called the Krispy Kreme doughnut came into being. Now it's an American food fetish that claims sports and entertainment figures among its most devoted fans, (not to mention a few Cyburbians)
who can pass the store ..... without checking for the "Hot Now" sign?
The stock (KKD on the New York Stock Exchange) went public in April 2000 at $5.25, and now trades around $18.65 a share.
Krispy Kreme's story begins in 1933, when Vernon Carver Rudolph, who would later found the company, bought a doughnut shop from a French baker in Paducah, Ky., acquiring a secret, yeast-raised doughnut recipe.
Today, the company has 380 stores in 44 states and Canada, Mexico, Australia and Britain.
