Nearly 200 line up for 5 a.m. Wednesday opening of Krispy Kreme in downtown Denver
Sean McElroy lined up at 11:15 p.m. Tuesday so he could be the first customer to walk through Krispy Kreme’s doors in downtown Denver on Wednesday morning and leave with a free dozen doughnuts for this week and every week for a year.
Nearly 200 people waited on the 16th Street Mall, some such as McElroy since the night before and others straggling in between 4 and 6 a.m., in the hopes of getting free doughnuts. Only the first 99 people after McElroy got a free dozen every month for a year.
The mood was cheery and excited toward the front of the line, where customers bonded overnight with games of Uno and dancing in the street. Toward the end, the group was quieter and sleepy, with grumblings about line-cutters and that those who followed the no-camping rule got a raw deal.
“They should have been here earlier,” said MaeLani Lee, 29, who was one of the first to get doughnuts. “When it’s free, it tastes so much better.”
