FOX 9 Minneapolis-St. Paul Krispy Kreme grand opening in Minnesota draws large lines

Dozens of Minnesotans lined up and some even camped out overnight as Krispy Kreme reopened in Minnesota for the first time since 2008.

The opening of the new Krispy Kreme at the plaza off University Avenue at 57th Avenue NE in Fridley was so highly anticipated that the City of Fridley was warning drivers to avoid the area on Wednesday. The police department also added extra patrols to help manage the increased traffic.

FOX 9 crews on scene as the store opened at 8 a.m. found cars lined up through the plaza and onto the street while a long line of customers waited outside the store.
