AKRON, Ohio - Krispy Kreme made a stop in Akron as part of its "Glaze the Nation Tour 2012." It's all in celebration of the company's 75th birthday.
The Krispy Kreme Doughnut truck stopped at Paladin Construction Group to show appreciation for over 150 workers, giving away free doughnuts provided by one of the oldest Krispy Kreme shops in Akron.
Akron was a very important stop on the tour trail because the store was established in 1939 and is one of the oldest running Krispy Kreme stores in the United States. The Maple Street doughnut shop has been a key part of Krispy Kreme's development over the years.
For 260 days, tour guides will take to the roads in a newly restored 1960 van "sharing the delicious tastes and joyful memories of Krispy Kreme at special events and Krispy Kreme shops throughout the U.S.
