@bransonareabreakingnews: Thousands of Doughnuts Trap Customers as Krispy Kreme Equipment Goes Out of Control in Branson A massive cleanup operation is underway after a doughnut production machine reportedly malfunctioned at a Branson Krispy Kreme, filling the restaurant with nearly six feet of freshly glazed doughnuts. The machine continued producing thousands of doughnuts despite employees’ attempts to shut it down. Within minutes, the dining area was buried, leaving several customers trapped up to their necks. Firefighters were called to the restaurant and began pulling customers from the enormous piles while other crews worked to shut down the equipment. All customers were eventually rescued, but removing the thousands of doughnuts left behind has become a major undertaking. The restaurant remains closed as crews investigate the malfunction and continue cleanup efforts. No reopening date has been announced.
