AMERICAN gourmet doughnut maker Krispy Kreme has backtracked on a promise to open its first Scottish outlets this year. Announcing UK sales of £33.4 million for 2010 the company said "no plans had been confirmed" for expansion into Scotland. In March last year the business stated it hoped to open in Glasgow and Edinburgh during 2011 as part of a multi-million pound UK expansion drive. But today it said: "Krispy Kreme is currently opening a succession of new stores as part of its five-year plan to double its presence across the UK; announced in March last year." "Cities such as Edinburgh and Glasgow would be perfect locations for Krispy Kreme. "However, at this stage no plans have been confirmed. Rest assured, the people of Scotland will be the first to know when Krispy Kreme comes to town." The company currently operates 42 UK stores across the UK and Ireland.
