Can Krispy Kreme Legally 'Shut Down' Re-Sale Of Their Doughnuts?

[Bob Blaylock]

You cannot buy product with the intention of reselling it without the sellers permission.

That's absolutely false.

Once you buy something, it's yours to do what you will with. The original seller has no say in it at that point.

Because there was no Kispy Kreme business anywhere nearby, a Minnesota college student drove 270 miles to Clive, Iowa, every Saturday to buy up to 100 boxes of doughnuts, drive them back, and re-sell them to customers willing to pay $17 to $20 per dozen. Some customers reportedly paid Jayson Gonzales as much as $100 per doughnut run for the doughnuts. 'There has not been a Krispy Kreme outpost in Minnesota for 11 years, which prompted the high demand Gonzalez saw.'

Upon learning about this, Krispy Kreme sent Gonzales a letter telling him he had to 'shut down' his business because his side business was a 'liability' to Krispy Kreme. KK added, "We appreciate Jayson's passion for Krispy Kreme and his entrepreneurial spirit as he pursues his education."

1. So, was Gonzales breaking any law by re-selling the doughnuts be purchased? Did / Does KK have any legal leg to stand on in demanding Gonzales stop making these runs and re-selling the doughnuts?

IMO, if they did, Gonzales would have received an official, legal 'Cease and Desist' order instead of a corporate letter informing Gonzales that he 'had' to stop.

2. What 'Liability' was Gonzales' re-selling the doughnuts causing in a location where KK chose not to have a franchise?

If anything, IMO again, KK should reach out to Gonzales and THANK him for pointing out such a high-demand area for expansion, if not offering to give him part (if not total) ownership of his own KK franchise in the are in which he was re-selling their doughnuts!

Not if I were buying them! They claimed a "liability" issue. Bullshit. The guy is selling them paid full price for them, they are his to do as he pleases. He is selling them as resold Krispy's, people know this, he is not representing himself as a Krispy dealer. I'd tell Krispy to go get stuffed (they probably won't sell him 100 boxes anymore anyways since he was stupid enough to advertise what he was doing).

Krispy should have told them he can't sell them in their boxes or must make it clear Krispy claims no liability or relationship with him. I haven't had a Krispy in ages. Now I guess I never will again.

You state you'll never eat a Krispy Kreme doughnut? GOOD CHOICE, moooo!

So your the one locking up children's lemonade stands?

In my town, people often buy donuts from KK and resale them with KK 's blessing as part of fundraisers.

Fundraisers for non-profits is licensed by Krispy Kreme.

My question is, why wouldn't this guy open a franchise? Seems he's sitting on a goldmine.

You realize that opening a fast food franchise usually requires millions in net worth and at least hundreds of thousands in liquid assets, right?

That is dubious, at best. But even if we accepted your ridiculous premise, all this guy has to do is to simply restate his business model as being a delivery service.

Btw chic filla gives them away for free..( if your not a atheist/liberal/commie devil worshiper)

 

[rightwinger]

way back when Coors was only sold in a few selected states, I heard people would drive/fly to a state where Coors was sold and it back to the state where it was not sold. Mostly doing it for a profit.

It would make a good movie

It used to be good back in the day

It wasn’t pasteurized and was sold fresh. That is why they didn’t sell east of the Mississippi

Wonder why the OldLady didn't get in on this thread? She seems to know a little about do-nuts...

When I was a kid, parents took me on road trip for 2 weeks in the Rockies.
Last day in CO, dad decides to load car with 13 cases of 48 packs of Coors to bring home to MN.
He drank every drop himself.

Cigarettes sure seem to be protected. Cops did choke out a black dude for selling singles.

I get it though. Smokes are like 5 bucks a pack in FL. In MN almost 10, might do a run myself.


I heard even cheaper in Missouri.

Everyone in MN was sick of it.

And Grain Belt too.

Since beer and doughnuts are in thread. How about a Doughnut Beer?


I don't know about this one.

Not if I were buying them! They claimed a "liability" issue. Bullshit. The guy is selling them paid full price for them, they are his to do as he pleases. He is selling them as resold Krispy's, people know this, he is not representing himself as a Krispy dealer. I'd tell Krispy to go get stuffed (they probably won't sell him 100 boxes anymore anyways since he was stupid enough to advertise what he was doing).

Krispy should have told them he can't sell them in their boxes or must make it clear Krispy claims no liability or relationship with him. I haven't had a Krispy in ages. Now I guess I never will again.

Rubbish, 1%Brain! Restaurants commonly buy bread and other products from bakeries to then sell them at their establishment. I buy food from a supplier where EVERYTHING THEY SELL (meat, vegetables, deserts, breads, etc., etc.,) whether in basic form or completed product (ice cream, baked cookies), is sold mostly to restaurants at tax exempt wholesale prices. I can buy those big 10-15 pound blocks of cheese you see in the case at the local deli that they take out and slice up and sell to you at $8 a pound. I can get the whole thing for $25. There is no liability issue.

Unless there is a statement on the box or in the KK establishment stating that their product cannot be repackaged and resold, it is yours when you walk out the door to do with as you like. I think where the guy went wrong is keeping them in the KK box as a KK product. He should sell them individually through his own storefront or repackage them in his own box.

PROVE ME WRONG by linking me to the state law showing what law he is breaking.

Ha! So much fun how easy it is proving Tards wrong! All these people telling us that Krispy had every reason and legal recourse to slam the door in this guy's face! And now, one day later, they have done a total 180 and have agreed to let him sell their donuts, even donating more!

Krispy Kreme: Minnesota student Jayson Gonzalez's doughnuts are back

Funny how Tards are always wrong all the time about everything they think. The minute Krispy realized what a bad press this was for them and what a marketing bonanza it would be to support him, you can bet your sweet ass they "found it in their hearts" to forgive and forget.
