Krispy Kreme and Dunkin' are two of the biggest doughnut chains, but a few years ago, I wanted to find out which one had the best glazed doughnut. So I set out to do my own taste test to see which one was the victor.
From a pure number perspective, it's hard to figure out which doughnuts reign supreme. There are 13,000 Dunkin' locations around the world while Krispy Kreme has 1,400 retailers worldwide, including doughnut shops and partnerships with retailers.
While Dunkin's profits aren't public, Krispy Kreme, a publicly traded company, increased its net revenue by 5.7% in the first quarter of the year to $442.7 million, according to their quarterly results.
Since pure stats wouldn't help me, I visited both chains and now I can see why the latter is hugely popular.
To celebrate this year's National Donut Day, here's what I thought when I visited the chains back in 2019.
