The Coachella Valley’s first Krispy Kreme location opened in Rancho Mirage this morning and there was quite a line going by the time the doors opened.
This is what the line looks like outside Krispy Kreme before it opens in #RanchoMirage. Lots of committed people wanting to get their donut fix. @KESQ pic.twitter.com/0WloydjRan

Though it doesn’t appear that everyone had to wait.
Just watched an angry mob boo @GinoLaMont for walking out of the brand new @krispykreme in Rancho Mirage cuz he had several dozen donuts in hand after we have been waiting since last night for them and still outside in the windy cold. pic.twitter.com/hdxexfdjBi
