TOTING a box of glazed Krispy Kreme doughnuts from across the border has been a rite of passage for many frequent flyers returning to South Australia.

But addicts of the treats won't have to travel interstate for their fix for much longer.

Peregrine Corporation - owners of the On The Run fuel/retail outlets - has revealed advanced plans to open SA's first Krispy Kreme outlets, creating at least 30 new jobs.

Company director Yasser Shahin said the company had lodged applications with Salisbury and Charles Sturt councils for two manufacturing sites and is negotiating on a CBD retail site, with plans for more. Investment in coming years was likely to total $10 million.

"We have already invested in management for the Krispy Kreme business and purchased all of the plant and equipment," Mr Shahin said.

"I have four years of development plans ready to go with new stores and refurbishments," Mr Shahin said.

On The Run took over the 26 Mobil service stations in 2010, taking the number of On The Run sites to 81 and had since spent $17 million developing the sites and creating 250 new jobs.

The company also recently opened its first Hungry Jacks outlet at Dry Creek.
