A Krispy Kreme doughnuts outlet is returning to the West Valley several years after the Peoria franchise shut down.

The new factory-style store opens Tuesday, Nov. 10, along 83rd Avenue south of Bell Road.

The first 250 customers in line on opening day will receive a "Doughnut Dan Glazed Ticket" scratch-off card for a chance to win free dozens, coffee and a doughnut, beverages and other prizes. One winner will receive a grand prize of $1,000 and a lifetime supply of doughnuts, and the second-place winner will receive $500 and a one-year supply of doughnuts.

"I want my customers to enjoy themselves as much as I do at this store," the state Krispy Kreme franchisee, "Doughnut Dan" Brinton said in a press release.

From a large sidewalk window, customers can observe doughnuts being filled with jellies and creams and topped with powdered sugars and sprinkles. There will be a new kids meal and the first Krispy Kreme milk bar, where customners can choose a flavored milk or make their own creation using flavor mix-ins.

The store also will feature a photo booth with all proceeds going to Homeward Bound.

The Peoria outlet is Brinton's ninth store, with seven in metro Phoenix and two in Tucson, since his entry into Arizona in May 2008.

The new store will be open seven days a week from 5:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.
