Krispy Kreme
While in college, Shaq fell in love with Krispy Kreme Doughnuts and made a vow to own a franchise. He eventually became a franchise owner when he was nearly 60 years old. In January this year, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts and its partner Shaq announced that construction of a new shop on the site of its historic Ponce de Leon location in Atlanta is ongoing. This comes almost two years after the original shop built about six decades ago was destroyed by arson in February 2021.
