Krispy Kreme is a US doughnut and coffee chain with around 340 locations across the United States, founded in 1937 in Winston-Salem North Carolina by Vernon Rudolph and now publicly traded as NASDAQ:DNUT, known for the Original Glazed signature, the iconic Hot Now neon sign that turns on when fresh glazed donuts are coming off the conveyor (free Original Glazed offered during the window at most factory stores), and the theater-of-the-doughnut conveyor viewing windows at Hot Light Factory stores.

The questions readers actually ask: what time does Krispy Kreme open today, when does the Hot Light come on, are they open on Thanksgiving, Christmas, or Easter, do any Krispy Kreme stores stay open 24 hours, and Sunday hours.

Two Krispy Kreme specific things worth knowing: most stores run 5:30 to 6:00 AM open and 10:00 PM close Mon-Thu (Fri-Sat extend to 11:00 PM), with a small number of 24-hour locations (Las Vegas Strip Excalibur, San Diego Clairemont Mesa, and Winston-Salem Stratford Rd drive-thru only); the chain operates two daily Hot Light windows at most factory stores, typically 7:00 to 9:00 AM in the morning and 5:00 to 7:00 PM in the evening, when the neon sign turns on and free Original Glazed donuts are offered. The chain is closed on Christmas Day and Easter Sunday at most stores. Donut and coffee sibling Dunkin’ follows a different always-open-Sundays pattern.
