News about Krispy Kreme expanding into Maine and New Hampshire broke in February, with franchisee Cort Mendez saying that a development deal had been signed to open four locations in New Hampshire and three in Maine.

Krispy Kreme, which was founded in 1937, is one of the two biggest national doughnut chains in a $13 billion industry, according to franchisechatter.com.
