 In 2002, Krispy Kreme opened its second store in New England in Newington, Connecticut.What followed was a period of aggressive expansion throughout the region; this included a Krispy Kreme at the Prudential Center in Boston, Massachusetts, which opened on 15 April 2004 and closed sixteen months later.Initially fueled by hype surrounding the opening of Krispy Kreme in New England, this regional expansion was followed by the closing of all but one store, at the Mohegan Sun casino in Uncasville.
