For years Norfolk-based Krispy Kreme lovers have had to head to Cambridge to get their hands on their favourite sweet treat, but today the American company have confirmed that their first Norwich store will be opening its doors to doughnut fans at 10am on Friday, September 2.

The new Chapelfield shopping centre outlet will offer the chain's signature glazed doughnut, as well as 15 other varieties such as Strawberries & Kreme and Chocolate Dreamcake.

In June Judith Denby, chief marketing officer at Krispy Kreme, said of the new Norwich store: 'We are extremely excited to be bringing the joy of Krispy Kreme to Norwich later this summer and can't wait to welcome in busy shoppers to grab their dozens.'

In the run up to the September opening Krispy Kreme will be handing out hundreds of free doughnuts in the city.

The opening of the store follows the news that Five Guys and Bryon Hamburgers are also planning to open their first restaurants in the city, as well as Caffe Nero opening a second branch in Chapelfield.
