The border between Richmond and Chesterfield County is about to get a little sweeter.
Krispy Kreme is building its second area shop at Stonebridge Shopping Center on Midlothian Turnpike.
The building will total 2,300 square feet.
“Richmond has been a great market for us in terms of the retail business we do in our existing shop,” Krispy Kreme spokeswoman Laseea Watson said. “It was definitely a market that the community has embraced us for a really long time.”
The new Krispy Kreme will sit just north of a 123,000-square-foot Kroger Marketplace, which opened at Stonebridge in 2012. The building will total 2,300 square feet, and the company plans to hire 70 part-time and fulltime employees. Watson said a target opening date was not available.
Krispy Kreme is leasing the land the building sits on from Crosland Southeast, the shopping center’s master developer. The chain’s other area location is at 4910 W. Broad St. in Henrico County. Both stores are corporately owned.
Krispy Kreme will join Kroger and a slew of smaller retail tenants at Stonebridge, including Qdoba, Subway, Sweet Frog, a Sleepy’s mattress store and an ABC store. Virginia Beach-based Boyd Homes has plans to build 600 apartments at the site.
Richmond’s fried pastry market has seen several moves in the past year: Sugar Shack opened on Lombardy Street in June, and Country Style Donuts expanded by making its doughnuts available at new retailers in the Richmond area. And four local Dunkin’ Donuts franchises are relaunching under new management.
