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.

The building is nice but it's just a building a lot like the gas station in Avondale.

I was actually more concerned with the restoration of the sign, moreso than the building, LOL.

I also felt the same about the sign. I want to see it brought back to life.

Nooooooo! Too close!  Every time I would try to go to Lowes or Home Depot, my car would turn down Cassett to KK.  I could never stop it and now it's going to start up again.
