LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- After being closed for months due to a fire, Krispy Kreme on Bardstown Road plans to reopen in late November.
Crews rebuilt the roof of the doughnut shop in the Gardiner Lane Shopping Center after a fire back in May caused serious damage. Forty firefighters arrived on the scene one of Louisville's oldest donut shops just north of Interstate 264 in three minutes and were able to get the fire under control in about 15 minutes, leaving heavy damage to the roof and attic.
Michael Moore, 40, was eventually charged with first-degree arson and first-degree wanton endangerment. Louisville Fire Department officials said the fire was started using an "incendiary device thrown onto the building." It was a plastic bottle, firefighters said, but they haven't said what was in it.
Krispy Kreme plans to reopen on Nov. 26, according to assistant general manager Kimberly Thompson.
Thompson also told WDRB News that employees are going through training right now.
The multinational chain serves doughnuts and coffee.
