Krispy Kreme, which recently opened its first Irish store, has announced it will no longer operate its drive-thru 24 hours a day as previously planned. The doughnut shop in Blanchardstown was due to open "24/7", but local residents had reported that the noise of customers beeping their horns at night was keeping them awake. However, given the response to the store opening was "beyond initial expectations", the branch will now only open between of 6am and 11.30pm. In a statement, Richard Cheshire, CEO, Krispy Kreme UK & Ireland, said: “We anticipated a warm welcome for Krispy Kreme in Ireland and have long wanted to open a store here, but the response has been way ahead of our most optimistic expectations. "For the customers coming into our store in Blanchardstown, the smiles and joy have been great to see.
