If you live in North Central West Virginia and love Krispy Kreme, you probably know the feeling.

Someone mentions they're selling Krispy Kreme doughnuts for a school fundraiser, and suddenly everyone wants a box.

Or two.

Sometimes even more, because who knows when you'll have the chance to get them again?

For many of us, Krispy Kreme isn't something we can simply decide to pick up on the way home. Morgantown and the surrounding region do not have a dedicated Krispy Kreme shop. Getting the full Krispy Kreme experience, fresh doughnuts, the glowing Hot Light, and a box that is still warm when you open it, means making a significant trip.

And yet, the love for Krispy Kreme is already here.

Students across West Virginia participate in Krispy Kreme fundraisers. Parents, family members, friends, and community supporters place orders. Many people buy multiple boxes at once, enjoying some now and saving what they can for later.

Why?

Because when something you love isn't easily available, you take the opportunity when it comes.

But North Central West Virginia shouldn't have to wait for the next fundraiser or plan a long drive just to enjoy fresh Krispy Kreme doughnuts.

And this isn't only about Morgantown.

Morgantown welcomes people from surrounding counties every day. It is home to West Virginia University, bringing in thousands of students, families, alumni, and visitors. Tourists travel through the area. Workers commute here. Families visit. And dedicated Krispy Kreme fans from across the region already know that sometimes a good doughnut is worth the drive.

Imagine students stopping by with friends. Families picking up a dozen on the way home. Alumni grabbing a box when they return for a game. Tourists discovering another place to visit during their trip. Local residents gaining new job opportunities right here in the community.

The customers are already here. The love for Krispy Kreme is already here. We just need the shop.

Our solution is to come together and show Krispy Kreme exactly how much support a Morgantown location could have. Sign this petition, share it with your friends and family, and help us prove that Morgantown, North Central West Virginia, and Krispy Kreme fans across the surrounding region are ready to see the Hot Light glow a little closer to home.

Let's bring Krispy Kreme to Morgantown, West Virginia.
