Fans of the Iconic, Shaq-owned Krispy Kreme location on Ponce De Leon have reason to rejoice today as plans for the rebuilding of the donut shop have been confirmed by a statement from Krispy Kreme, and backed up by a land development permit application filed by Krispy Kreme for the site of the burnt donut shop.

The statement from Casandra Williams, a representative of Krispy Kreme Doughnut Corporation, confirms that “as we and Shaquille have said since after the first fire, our plan is to rebuild as soon as possible … and be back better and sweeter than ever, serving delicious doughnuts and providing an awesome doughnut experience to everyone in the Ponce neighborhood and those who visit.” The statement also confirms that the company is “in the process of applying for necessary permits… toward construction of a new Ponce shop, including efforts to retain and refurbish some of its original elements such as our historic sign.”.

However this statement, along with a Land Development Permit Application filed with the City of Atlanta, indeed confirm that the Ponce Krispy Kreme will make its comeback.

The filing also lists Krispy Kreme as the owner of the land and in the project description, all of which confirm the statement from the Krispy Kreme Corporation.
