Classic, Ock.

But, alas, you're wrong....I actually prefer the Donut Shoppe in Arlington (http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-donut-shoppe-jacksonville). Then KK. Then Dunkin.

Westsiders: Krispy Kreme returning to Cassat Ave. site


09/27/2012
by Karen Brune Mathis, Managing Editor

Krispy Kreme Doughnut Corp. intends to rebuild at its 810 Cassat Ave. location, which the North Carolina-based chain closed in 2005 to the dismay of many Westside customers after 35 years in business.
Development site plans filed with the City show a 2,300-square-foot Krispy Kreme with a drive-thru lane.

“The proposed site will include the demolition of the existing building and parking spaces and construction of a new Krispy Kreme building and (a) new drive-thru lane,” according to the site plans.

Krispy Kreme, a 75-year-old company, has two other stores in Jacksonville, at 12973 Atlantic Blvd. and 11117 San Jose Blvd., which is being remodeled.

Another City document shows that the existing Cassat Avenue site that will be demolished is a 4,508-square-foot building. It’s at Cassat and College Street, near Interstate 10.

“The existing parcel is an existing abandoned Krispy Kreme building and associated parking,” according to the plans.

One fan of the location started an online petition asking for signatures from supporters who want to “Open the Krispy Kreme on Cassatt Ave Again!!”

Krispy Kreme is based in Winston-Salem, N.C., and its signature is the Orignal Glazed â€" and that’s a registered trademark â€" doughnut.

Established in 1937, Krispy Kreme has about 711 locations around the world as well as a presence in grocery, convenience and mass merchandise stores. Its website is KrispyKreme.com.

The website shows a Charlotte, N.C., store opened Monday and three more â€" in Rock Hill and Anderson, S.C., and in Knoxville, Tenn. â€" will open next.

A Florida Times-Union report on Dec. 14, 2005, said Krispy Kreme closed two of its four area stores â€" the Cassat Avenue location and one in Orange Park. The Orange Park location closed after 10 years, the newspaper reported.

Property records show the Cassat Avenue building was constructed in 1970. Krispy Kreme owns the property, which is a little less than half an acre.

There’s no opening date yet, but patrons, prepare. The Charlotte opening offered a free dozen of the glazed doughnuts every week for a year to the first customer in line. The second through 99th customers received a free dozen each month for a year.

There also were T-shirts for the first 100 customers.

What happen with this Krispy Kreme coming back to the Westside???

What happen with this Krispy Kreme coming back to the Westside???

This was just in the TU.

Nearly seven years to the day it closed, a Westside Krispy Kreme restaurant is set to be reduced to rubble.

Permits issued Friday show that the shuttered restaurant at 810 Cassat Ave. â€" which had served those delicious glazed rings for 35 years â€" will be razed to make way for a new, modern Krispy Kreme restaurant.

That was the plan in September 2005, when the city first issued demolition permits for the project. Instead, the restaurant closed that December, its windows boarded up, its Krispy Kreme name removed from signs and its property ringed with a chain link fence.

But in September of this year, the project gained new life when the 75-year-old, Winston-Salem, N.C.-based company re-submitted development site plans with the city.

As of Monday morning, no demolition had begun at the site.

Thanks for the update jtwestside I'm so looking forward to getting these donuts Hot/Now in the near future.

I kind of hate to see the old place go, but I sure as hell hope the sign will NOT be torn down & replaced. Back in the day you could see that old neon all the way up & down Cassat - and even on Interstate 10.

Do we have a date for the demolition?  I would love to get pictures before an old friend is laid to rest.  Wish we could get pics. on the inside before it comes down.
At least like the Phoenix, it will rise from the ashes and be ours again.

Hate to see the old building go.  Hope the sign is saved .

Went by there today. 1-14-13  Took pics.  The boards are down and the windows seem to have been broken in the process.  It does seem that they may be getting ready to begin work.  Hooray!  for the westside. 
Big Cheese would like to post those pics.  but she is computer ignorant.
