Global doughnut and coffeehouse chain Krispy Kreme is expanding in the Calgary market and with the help of Monika Blachut and Michael Kehoe of Fairfield Commercial Real Estate have secured a great location along Macleod Trail South.

Construction will begin later this year on a lot owned by Lansdowne Equity Ventures directly in front of its Schanks Sports Grill.

According to Kehoe, Krispy Kreme officials plan their first Calgary location as a ‘doughnut theatre hub’ where customers can observe the doughnut-making process as the sweet snacks travel along a 12-metre production line, which includes a glaze waterfall. The free-standing flagship building will have a dine-in section plus a drive-through.
