I don't understand why they didn't go and put that KK smack in the middle of downtown.

One word: Lineups.

The first 3 months it was open (winter) they actually constructed a heated tent to contain some of the walk-in lineup. The drive-through lineup stretched over a city block and was controlled by no less than 3 Mississauga Police officers. Where else but a semi-deserted commercial parking lot in the 'burbs could you do this without creating traffic chaos? BTW there's a new one opening soon in Richmond Hill (north end), but it's getting a lot of bad press locally because of the lineups and traffic mess expected.

All this for a donut, er doughnut. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

I believe it has to do with franchising territory. KK Corporate wanted to reserve downtown for themselves and only awarded the master franchises for the suburbs. AFAIK, there will be a second location in Scarborough soon, but I don't know the details.

Friends, lets scratch the KK/Tim Horton's taste test. THe only way would be if I bring in some from NYC, but they might be as fresh.

We have enough to do during the DIE to keep us busy. Maybe next time. Thanks for the warning on the drive

And YES, why not put a KK in downtown Toronto! It will be one of the biggest stories (Tim Vs Krispy) in years.

OMNI to Newself: I have no idea what you are talking about! ;-)

That was my point, a downtown KK wouldn't have the street traffic problems that the one in Missisaugua has.

No big deal, I'm sure there'll be quite a few in good time.

Nick, had I only known about your secret lust, I'd have brought a dozen Maple Glazed in with me last weekend instead of chocolates. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif</font>
I'm sure that my physician would be very happy that you brought chocolates instead! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Not only that, but consumption of that many doughnuts at one sitting may result in actually "DIEing!" http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Just want to update:

*Will not do any drive outside YYZ for Krispy Kreame.
*BUT I am looking forward to trying Tim Hortons.

Thanks for your suggestions on places. Looking forward to this weekend!
