A doughnut lover has won a year's supply from Krispy Kreme after the American chain opened a new shop in Cornwall. Sam Davies queued up all night to be the first in line, waiting from 10pm on Wednesday night until the shop opened at 9am this morning (Thursday, July 4). The company, known for its glazed delicacies, announced in March that it would open a shop in this summer.
The new branch, in St Nicholas Street, was officially opened by town crier Lionel Knight with the five staff cutting a ribbon before the queue of 50 or so rushed in to get their hands on the famous pastry. Sam Davies showed us his Krispy Kreme paper hat with the number one written on it. Trying to warm up after spending almost 12 hours on a camping chair wrapped in a blanket and several layers of clothing, the 30-year-old from Truro said he was over the moon to have won a year's supply of doughnuts.
"I turned up at 10pm. They gave this number one hat. It's the hat of destiny," he joked, visibly in high spirits.
"Whenever I go out of Cornwall to see some friends we always end up in Krispy Kreme. My friends love it. They are nice doughnuts.
Now I can return the favour and treat them to some doughnuts when they come here." He said he's already eyed up his favourite, a strawberry cream doughnut. Sam said he had a walk around the city centre to keep himself busy in the early hours of the morning until a group of friends joined him at 3.
40am. Nicole Ford, 18 from and Eren Stevens, 17, from may have missed out on.
