Kosher Krispy Kreme in Las Vegas

I have heard a rumor that there one or more Kosher Kripsy Kremes in Las Vegas, but I have not been able to confirm this. Does anyone know of any?
Thanks,
David

While this list maybe helpful it is NOT up to date. I know of at least three more certified KK locations, one in NJ and 2 in Philadelphia:) OP I'd contact KK to see for yourself if the Las Vegas ones are to your standasrds and if they are do try a warm glazed donut.
While I do prefer Dunkin Donuts in general nothing in this world is like a warm glazsed KK donut!

Look at the timestamp of the post...the list is out of date because the post is 7 years old. If anybody still cares, as of December 2011, the Krispy Kreme downtown on Fremont Street is certified kosher under KOA of Passaic, NJ. http://www.koakosher.com/

Downtown in WHAT city??? BION people in places other than NYC read this site.

With all due respect, It would be rather obvious to anyone reading this thread, which is entitled, "Kosher Krispy Kreme in Las Vegas" , than I am referring to Las Vegas.

PP

the thread is about kosher KK locations in Las Vegas. Fremont Street is the main drag in downtown Las Vegas (not to be confused with the Strip, which is Las Vegas Blvd)

They all are kosher.

But I don't totally trust this article. I have found no confirmation that there are kosher KK's in LV or, if so, what supervision they are under. There are no listings on Shamash or anything about them on the webistes for the shuls in LV. I don't believe that this article is lying, just that they might misunderstand what kosher means or have a dubious source. I am looking for someone who has been to a kosher KK in LV or knows someone who has.
Thanks!

They are all kosher - not just relying on this article - many rabanim have said so.
You can even buy any krispy kreme donuts at a gas station or convenience store.

Krispy Kreme's ingredients are kosher, but not all locations are under supervision to insure kashrut.
Also, KK used to use lard, so if an old location that used to use lard switched to the new batter the end product is still not kosher due to the non-kosher equipment unless it was kashered.

I'm sure there are rabonim who hold like that. However, I just wanted to let people know that there are other reliable rabonim that hold that all Krispy Kreme donuts are ok, no matter where you purchase them.

Well, they stopped using lard over 20 years ago. You would think there would be some statute of limitations here. And at some point all the old equipment would have been replaced. I realize that in theory there are never ending cross contamination issues, but at some point you have to ask yourself "what would G-d want?" I think there is good Biblical precedent for 40 years representing a clean slate, the equivalent of being buried in the yard for a year, if you would. So we only have about 12-13 years left I guess.

[queenscook]

As far as I have ever heard, there's no halacha behind anything being buried in the yard for a year; it's a long-standing myth about kashering treif silverware, but it has no basis in Jewish law. As for your other conjecturing . . . I leave it to those who keep kosher to decide for themselves about your "statute of limitations" theory. I myself would not assume any change of equipment, and once the treif is in, there are specific ways it can be dealt with in the halachic sense, but the simple passage of time isn't one, as far as I know.

[randallhank]

I do, as a matter of fact, keep kosher. In my house I am very strict and only use products that are marked by a reliable authority. As to which Krispy Kremes I would eat outside of my own home, vis a vis the fact that 20 years ago they used lard, well that's another story.

[ganeden]

Actually, if a day is OK, why not a year? OK, in practice, we still hit the commercial equipment with caustic-type stuff, but in industrial or commercial processes, not everything is kashered, even lechatchila.
