I chanced across it in the basement of the new Lotte / IMAX building downtown.
It's at the base of the escalator.

...and the lineup was only about 120 people long.

Krispy Kreme sucks. Yeah I'll admit that I stood in line at point when they were first introduced back home. But I've had better doughnuts from mom'n pop places that sell Chinese food and doughnuts! Twisted Evil

It will be interesting to see how long Krispy Kreme lasts in Korea.

I don't see them going into Japan because the turnovers of trends in Japan are too fast - about a year.

Korea may be the same. For example, these Turkish kebab places. They might all be closing soon.

Incidentally, whenever I see a Krispy Kreme, I think of Krsuty Burgers from The Simpsons. Very Happy

As a founding member of the Coalition Against Fat Asses I find the expansion of Krispy Kreme into Korea highly offensive. I call on all members of CAFA to form a picket line outside all Krispy Kreme Donut stores.
