By Daniel Opasinis
A new Krispy Kreme location opened at 105 Dundas St. E. on Nov. 26, offering Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) students a new treat spot near classes.
This new location comes during an expansion of Krispy Kreme’s presence across the Greater Toronto Area. The downtown location is on the corner of Dundas and Church Street and will become the chain’s 17th location in Canada.
To celebrate the location’s opening, the first customer in line is given the opportunity to turn on the iconic “HOT” light. The first 12 customers will receive a free dozen original glazed donuts for every month of the year, according to an email sent to The Eyeopener sent by Krispy Kreme promotions.
In addition, every customer on opening day will receive one free original glazed donut.
Luca Solomita, a first-year architectural science student at TMU is excited for the store’s opening.
“We already have some of those other American chains around like Shake Shack, but having the Krispy Kreme just adds to that sweet part of it,” he said.

Generation Z— individuals aged 12 to 27—are expected to spend the most amount of money this year during Black Friday deals, according to Statistica.
Students at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) are excited about upcoming sales.
Nicholas Romanino, a first-year professional communication student said he is looking for “tons of deals.” He works in a mall and said he’s noticed a lot of discounts happening this year with some steeper than others.
“Clothes-wise, I’d say [the deals are better] but electronic-wise, I think they were better last year,” he said.
Caroline Martyn, a fourth-year nursing student said she’s waiting until exams are done to “get [her] shopping on.”
“Black Friday being so close to exams, I find it really difficult to [find] the time to shop,” she said.
Black Friday is historically an American holiday but became popular in Canada in 2007 when the American dollar was equal to the Canadian dollar for the first time in 31 years, according to Western Financial Group.
