They're baking them, then deep-frying them, flipping them over and running them through a wall of goo. They’re not cooking their books.

And then there's the fact that Timmies is just unsurpassable compared to 45% fat KK doughnuts. I'll take a detour for Timmies, not for KK.

There wasn't anything there except for the wholesale market 10 years ago. Hopefully, with the new Chabanel commuter train station and the density of the garment district across the tracks, the Marché Central can one day densify and become something other that a bit of suburban sprawl in the middle of the city. At the very least, transit and pedestrian connections should be improved. Maybe some kind of bus terminal could be built at Rockland with an overpass over the 40.

The whole concept revolves around the idea of the drive through, where you buy the donuts by the dozen. Few people go to KK for "a donut." The fact that they have a little cafe area is just a concession to modern-day oddballs. People (at least U.S. people) go to KK for a BAG of donuts.
