"A Krispy Kreme has returned to the island of Montreal with a new downtown location at 375 Ste-Catherine W, a block from Place-des-Arts, complete with a large, Bill 101-friendly sign proclaiming “beignets et café.” MTL Blog first reported the news, and, given it’s a chain operation, things won’t differ substantially: the shop will serve Krispy Kreme’s staple glazed doughnuts alongside various powdered and filled options. The opening is part of the North Carolina chain’s larger attempt to make a comeback in Canada—after first expanding to Canada in the early 2000s and then closing the majority of its stores a few years later—and the downtown outlet is currently the only one on the island. It is open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday to Saturday and 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday." - Tim Forster
