The store will be the first\u00a0of 31 Krispy Kreme shops which will open around the country over the next five years.<\/p>\n
“The Zone is a cosmopolitan melting pot of cultures, creativity and style for the vibrant local population, making it the ideal introductory location for this world famous doughnut retailer,” the group said.<\/p>\n
The group operates in 24 countries across the globe, and this is its first venture into Africa.<\/p>\n
