The City approved four sign permits for Krispy Kreme Doughnuts at 810 Cassat Ave. in West Jacksonville. Clear View Signs Inc. is the contractor for the $27,100 project, comprising a ground sign and three wall signs.
In February, the City approved construction for Krispy Kreme Doughnut Corp. to build a restaurant at the site, where the North Carolina-based chain closed in 2005 after 35 years in business there.
The City previously approved a building permit for RPC General Contractors Inc. to build a 2,464-square-foot restaurant at the site.
Krispy Kreme has two other stores in Jacksonville, at 12973 Atlantic Blvd. and 11117 San Jose Blvd. The company is based in Winston-Salem, N.C., and its signature product is the Original Glazed – a registered trademark – doughnut.
Established in 1937, Krispy Kreme has about 670 locations around the world as well as a presence in grocery, convenience and mass merchandise stores. Its website is KrispyKreme.com.
A Florida Times-Union report on Dec. 14, 2005, said Krispy Kreme closed two of its four area stores – the Cassat Avenue location and one in Orange Park. The Orange Park location closed after 10 years, the newspaper reported.
Property records show the Cassat Avenue building had been constructed in 1970. Krispy Kreme owns the property, which is a little less than half an acre.
