The new Hotlight store, at the much anticipated St James Quarter, is only the third concept store to open its doors alongside the Edinburgh Hermiston Gait and Glasgow Braehead stores, and only the second to open in Edinburgh since the first opening back in 2013.

Krispy Kreme’s world renowned ‘Hotlight’ gives doughnut-fans the opportunity to enjoy the magic of a freshly made Original Glazed doughnut hot fresh off the line - whenever you see the ‘Hot Now’ sign lit up at a Hotlight concept store.

What’s more, the Edinburgh St James Quarter store will offer six Hotlight hours a day – which is double the usual Hotlight hours of other stores. The new opening will adhere to all social distancing measures which are in place and lockdown restrictions.

The new Krispy Kreme store, which will open on June 24, will provide 25 new jobs for residents of Edinburgh, who will join nine internal transfers.

In addition on the opening day, Krispy Kreme will have a limited number of goody bags available with exclusive Krispy Kreme merchandise as well as some exciting giveaways.

Krispy Kreme’s CEO Richard Cheshire, said: “We are really excited to be opening our first Krispy Kreme store in Edinburgh City centre partnering with St James Quarter. We can’t wait to create more smiles and bring the magic of our iconic Hot Original Glazed doughnuts, fresh off the line, to our fans in Edinburgh.”
