I GOT

caught up in the Krispy Kreme traffic jam last Sunday evening on my way to an event in Clonsilla. While hundreds and thousands descended on the badly located new outlet, my eyes glazed over sitting in the gridlock. Already opening hours have been reduced, and Duffy’s Circus has been forced to abandon its longstanding site, where it was due to arrive on Tuesday, and move to Clontarf. With Christmas shopping traffic now building, could the Krispy Kreme traffic damage the shopping centre itself? The management in Blanchardstown are going around in circles – and might soon discover that the location they gave to the doughnut store was nuts.
