How is Krispy Kreme doing everyone?

[midinite]

So far expanding na sila at may mga reports sa isang thread na Megamall branch has no oven. Lines are starting to dwindle. Masarap nga pero may kamahalan. Anu kaya ang fate nitong franchise? over crowded na ba ang donut market in the first place that there is no room for it anymore? or is it still a growing (no pun intended) market that there is still room for another player. One for the premium segment and with aggressive expansion plans. Even the ad space they bought with billboards and streamers are more than what gonuts did initially. is this money well spent or wasted? remember si Gonuts had the strength of word of mouth...

is max's in over their head? or are they sitting on a goldmine.

after the holidays and observation we can now make assessments.

if KK is not going to succeed how long will you give it?

[ghosthunter]

The crowds that initially gathered was expected. From what I see, they will still have a good market for some time to come.

1B five yrs to pay so P200,000,000/yr franchise for donuts.

like any business, lalo na kung ganyan kalaki willing naman siguro mag-continue kahit break even lang.

Yes, I agree with some of the comments from some who posted here regarding Krispy Kreme. I think it is just a fad that us Filipinos are going through. Alam mo naman ang Pinoy--- basta galing Tate, number 1. I don't know but sometime ago, I noticed that KK in the States are being sold in gasoline forecourts. They don't even seem to have their own stores. So really, why the big fuss about them. Whereas we Filipinos are so into them (the KK doughnuts) at the moment, other countries regard them as just "off the tray of ordinary doughnuts"!! I think the fad will go away. I still prefer the good old Pinoy almusal -- fried rice, longanisa, a little bit of pindang bangus with suka and garlic as sawsaway, and fried egg ---- wow sarap!!!!

Totoo, ewan ko kung bakit big deal ang KK donut lang yun. Masarap pa ang filipino merienda or breakfast like longanisa etc.... nakakagutom sarap kumain

[creepy]

The donut's good but it's waaay too expensive. I think sales will drop after the novelty wears off.

[mazdamazda]

Sarap ng KK... way better than GoNuts & HotLoops. Even after a few days fresh pa din ang lasa.

are you in the U.S.? baka fad sa pinas kasi grass always greener scenario?

also you mentioned basta galing Tate magaling? what about TV sets? electronics? just a question...kasi matagal na di ako nakakakita ng american TV set sa pinas.

general perception din sa pinas ay mas maganda ang mga german cars. again whether it is true or not it is perception.

also the number one hamburger chain sa pinas doesnt have golden arches...kaya hard to generalize diba?

the number 1 hamburger chain is still McDo po. then Wendy's. sarap talaga ng burgers nila.


jollibee maybe a hamburger chain pero palagay ko mas sikat sya sa palabok, chicken joy and lahat ng food na pang-Pinoy na nasa menu nila. dapat kasi i-measure sa number of burgers sold na lang eh. andaya ng jollibee

[cutedoc]

with proper marketing donuts could be big, depending on the target market...

dunkin donuts isnt local as well, am i right?

including zagu, ice monster,etc, but i still crave for both delights

could you provide the data please? just wondering.

maybe i should have phrased to QSR (Quick Service Restaurants) instead of burger chain to make more accurate. key being if you checked post that pinoys like all things kano (the contention)...is that a sweeping statement?

its not as if KK suddenly popped up in our shores and tried to shove itself down our throats. It all started with word of mouth, kwento kwento lang na masarap daw etc etc... BTW have you been to the states and actually looked for a KK store?

[mikmik316]

BTW have you been to the states and actually looked for a KK store?

The ultimate question for some posers trying to diss KK...

I would also like to see In & Out burgers... hay sarap ng freshly made burger buns, shoestring potatoes and fresh vegetables prepared from the restaurant itself....

[cutedoc]

ok nga in and out burger=) mura and ok naman lasa=)

[xpac]

ok nga in and out burger=) mura and ok naman lasa=)

may in and out na ba dito sa Pinas?

[OTEP]

Masyado niyo naman dinidibdib ang KK.

It's a donut brand. If people buy it ok lang, if they don't ok lang din. Its normal for it to go through a 'fad' phase considering that it is a new brand here. Siguro kahit wala akong hilig sa donut I'd still try it just for the sake of trying. And it don't matter if KK is American, African, Italian, etc. Sometimes it's just fun to try new things.

Madalas mas importante pa kung SINO ang kasama mong kumakain ng donut imbis na kung ano ang brand ng donut na kinakain niyo. :D

[c0zee]

malabong magka in and out sa pinas.
anyway, masarap talaga ang in and out burger but i still prefer burger machine
