Did he found the chain, or did the founders decide to name it after him?

That kind of sucks. Getting a chain of donut shops named after you as a tribute.

Its nottoo bad, every one knows who he is because they have a plack in every store that tells about him. My dad told me about him before I read the plack. Because he met Tim a few years before he died. My dad was selling doughnuts door to door to help his school.

They weren't exactly known for good spelling in the south when Krispy Kreams was started.

Since it's just Krispy Kreme, not Krispy Kreme Konfections or anything like that, there is no ulterior meaning to it! Ha ha, kthulhu wins again!

And we don't have Krispy Kremes in my area

.

Although we do have Dunkin' Donuts

The nearest doughnut shop is quite a wase from me. And it's a Tim's. If I need anything I just go to seven eleven!
