Krispy Kreme will open its first regional Australian Hot Light factory store in Mount Gambier, officially rolling out freshly made doughnuts from Saturday, December 19.

Co-located with the new OTR Mount Gambier East complex it will give the local community and surrounding towns the opportunity to enjoy the fresh doughnuts 24/7.

Krispy Kreme SA General Manager Mark Higginbottom said he was excited to turn the light on to the third Hot Light factory store in South Australia.

“The world-famous Hot Light gives our visitors a unique melt-in-your-mouth experience where they enjoy hot, fresh, Original Glazed doughnuts as they roll off the line, every day,” he said.

“We are thrilled to be bringing Krispy Kreme to Mount Gambier and the South East.

“Our grand openings are unique, we give away thousands of Krispy Kreme doughnuts to those who join in on the opening day celebrations – so save the date – Saturday, December 19 at 10am sharp.

“Our entire team including our store manager Rachel Szabo are locals, creating 21 jobs for the Mount Gambier community.”

In another South Australian first, locals will be able to order fresh doughnuts for delivery via Menulog and the Krispy Kreme website.

The new Mount Gambier store joins Adelaide’s seven other Krispy Kreme stores across the state located at Marion Shopping Centre, Gouger Street and Grenfell Street and the two factory 24/7 stores at Port Road, West Croydon and Port Wakefield Road, Bolivar.
