Another new initiative was the late 2001 launch of a new test concept called the "doughnut and coffee shop." These stores aimed to provide customers with the hot doughnut experience that they had come to expect from Krispy Kreme, but in smaller locations--as small as 900 square feet--such as in a food court at a mall, in a downtown area, or at an airport. These outlets featured a new machine called the "Hot Doughnut Machine," which took cooked but unglazed doughnuts that had been prepared at one of the company's "factory" stores, reheated them, and then glazed them. (Krispy Kreme considered each of its standard stores to be a "doughnut factory"; capacity of these "factories" ranged from 4,000 dozen to 10,000 dozen doughnuts per day.) By early 2003 there were five of these outlets, which also offered a full line of coffee and other beverages. During 2003 Krispy Kreme also began experimenting with satellite outlets, which did not make their own doughnuts at all but rather were supplied with fresh--but cold--doughnuts from a nearby factory store. Yet another experiment, harkening back to the failed outlets that had opened in the late 1990s in some Lowe's stores, saw Krispy Kreme testing out stores located within Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. supercenters.
