Quote HistoryQuoted: So they should risk legal exposure for some person they don't know and haven't vetted. Maybe he is a sicko, maybe his car is a mess and full of infectious diseases , maybe he has a vendetta against KK and is just waiting to poison a shit load of donuts, etc. But again....I buy doughnut. It is now my doughnut. It doesnt matter I eat it or I sell it to my coworker for a $10 upcharge. The owner of the doughnut sold it willingly to a buyer who agreed to the price in exchange for the doughnut I own. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I think the issue with KK is, he doesn't have a franchise. He's using the KK name, but not paying to use the KK name. When he paid full retail price for the KK donuts, he gained the right to sell them as KK donuts. If he were frying up his own donuts and putting them in KK boxes, then KK would have a claim against him. As it stands, KK should have no say in the matter other than to refuse to sell to him at their retail locations. |

If the guy really wanted to make some money, he'd be selling Shipley's donuts instead.

He cannot print a sign, banner, menu, etc. using the Krispy Kreme name, their logo, etc. He cannot claim to be affiliated with, employed by, or representing Krispy Kreme. He can, however, claim that the box of donuts that he bought at Krispy Kreme are, in fact, "Kripsy Kreme Donuts". If that were not the case, every single sale of a used item that has a trademarked name or brand, would be a trademark violation. If you buy a Ford F-150, you can sell it as a Ford F-150. You cannot claim to be a Ford dealer, you cannot represent yourself as part of the Ford Motor Corporation, but you can sell YOUR Ford F-150. He can sell HIS Krispy Kreme donuts. |

That's kind of like Glock telling me I can't sell a G19, that I bought legally, to another private party. the guy didn't sign a contract. He did enter into a sale with the company, in which they took payment, in return for a product. Krusty Kreme should get bent. What the guy does with HIS donuts, is HIS business. I don't see how they can have any leg to stand on, legally. |

How is that? They belong to me, do they not? This is assuming, no outside interference from 3 letter agencies (like, "Hey, you're a firearms dealer"). I the dude is not mis-representing them, what the hell do they care? Let's assume then that I am selling paper, that I bought from Staples, in 500 sheet reams. Can I not re-sell those reams of paper to someone that happens to come along and want to buy paper?" Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
Exactly. Telling/asking him to stop reselling their doughnuts is the first step. This reminds me of the Popeye's(?) Chicken reseller in an actual restaurant (I mean, loosely, I think they made other food). And no, riverrockar, this isn't like you buying a G19 and reselling it. This is like you buying dozens of G19s every week/month and selling every single one of them. Glock has every right to ask you to stop, or tell you to stop, or refuse to sell them to you, including any future new Glock you may ever purchase from a licensed dealer. Glock's business, Glock's rules. Of course, they could also want to make you a licensed dealer too.  Let's assume then that I am selling paper, that I bought from Staples, in 500 sheet reams. Can I not re-sell those reams of paper to someone that happens to come along and want to buy paper?" Suppose I own Staples and discover that you're buying dozens of case of reams of paper and reselling it, every week. Am I under some sort of obligation to continue to sell you paper? Of course not. I have every right to ask you to stop or tell you to stop, stop selling you paper, and need no reason to do so. Nothing in that suggests that I'm telling you that you cannot resell your property, even if some of that property is paper previously purchased from Staples. You ask "Why the hell do they care"? It's none of your business. Either Krispy Kreme sells the doughnuts, or they do not. What obligation do they have to explain themselves to you? |

The only acceptable answer was Shipley's. |

North bound and down, load up and trucking. We gona do what they say cant be done. He's got a long way to go, and a short time to get there. He's north bound, just watch ol' "KK" run. Keep your foot hard on the pedal. Son, never mind them brakes. Let it all hang out 'cause we got a run to make. The boys are hungry in MSP and there's KK in DesMoines,IA.

They haven't lost shit when there's no KK store in the area where they are being sold, and they made full profit off of the dude's initiative. After buying something at full price, it's his, and he can do with it as he wishes. Dumbass move by KK... Should've made an attempt at a franchise for the good PR instead of stepping on their dick. |
