Krispy Kreme enthusiasts bundled themselves in big jackets and blankets outside of the chain doughnut producer’s original Chico location on Business Lane at 5 a.m. Tuesday, a half hour before the shop opened its doors to the public. The opening-day line spiraled around the building, as did a line of cars waiting for the drive-through. The earliest of the devotees arrived Monday, camping out to win prizes of free doughnuts (the first person receiving doughnuts each week for a year) and T-shirts.
