Nooo.....Pinole...noooo...A Krusty Kreme? Really?

I thought Pinole was finally on an upward evolutionary path with Pete's coffee, TJs, Sobon Korean, but a Krispy Kreme opening up right across the street from a beloved family owned and operated Pinole institution -- Ala Mode Donut Shop.  I was even willing to give them a chance since it seemed KK was trying to remake their image as more of a cafe type business. But the recent flyer advertising an all american camp out leading up to their grand opening and a dozen free doughnuts a week for an entire year to the first customers is well...just sad.  
Boycot Krispy Kreme and support our own donut shop.
Plus Ala Mode is really quite amazing and bake some of the best donuts I've ever had.  Just check out their Yelp page http://www.yelp.com/biz/alamode-donut-shop-pinole
