Update: Krispy Kreme has responded to Gonazalez’s plight. In a statement on Twitter, the company said, “we’re happy to say we’re helping Jayson restart his business & donate 500 dozen to him. He was asked to stop selling to protect everyone involved. He will work as an independent operator for us and together we’ll ensure delivery of our doughnuts to our fans in MN!”

Gonzalez responded to the news on his Facebook page: “I am pumped to announce that I will be able to continue the business soon, and have the support of Krispy Kreme. They want to ensure I become an independent operator and make sure the brand is represented well.”
