Commenting on the agreement, Krispy Kreme Chairman, President and CEO Scott A. Livengood said, “With only one store presently in the Miami, FL market, we know there is great opportunity to accelerate the development of this area.  The partnership of Jimmy Buffett, Jim Cosentino and Krispy Kreme gives us great strength in this market as we develop the critical gateway to Latin America.”
