Opening date revealed for Peterborough's new Krispy Kreme doughnut restaurant

Work is all but finished on the doughnut giant’s new premises at Cygnet Green, which will also house a production hub turning out fresh produce for local outlets.

Judith Denby, chief marketing officer at Krispy Kreme, said: “Our Hotlight stores provide the ultimate way for doughnut lovers to experience the joy and excitement of Krispy Kreme, and we can’t wait to open the doors in Peterborough later this summer.

“It will allow customers to see and smell the magic at work in its unique doughnut theatre – a true sensory experience.

“From hand-dipping the doughnuts to sprinkling and piping the decorative finishes, Krispy Kreme’s skilled production teams will be working around the clock to ensure each doughnut in its 16 strong range is unique and tastes delicious.”

The drive-thru will be open 24 hours a day, with doughnut-lovers able to eat in from 7am to 10pm.
