Jayson Gonzalez, a 21-year-old Minnesota college student, is partnering with doughnut chain Krispy Kreme after he was initially told to stop reselling donuts in Minnesota where there has been no Krispy Kreme store for over 10 years.

"We are going to help him achieve his goals, which include being debt-free when he graduates in 2021, in part, by selling Krispy Kreme doughnuts," the company said in a statement Monday, according to NBC News.

Gonzalez was told to stop his budding business in which he would drive 270 miles from Champlin, Minnesota, to Clive, Iowa, where he would load up on upwards of 100 boxes containing a dozen doughnuts apiece. He would then resell them in Minnesota for more than $20 a box.

After an article ran in the local paper about his business, Gonzalez received a call from Krispy Kreme telling him to put an end to his business because it was a potential liability for the company.

Now, the company is saying it is working on a way to make him an independent operator for the company. "On both ends, there are things that are being worked on right now to achieve that as this is being made as a special exception," Gonzalez said on his business's Facebook page. He is also working to raise money to get a bigger car so he can expand his business.





The company said it wants to ensure that they can maintain "high product quality standards, given the distance and manner in which he is transporting and distributing them."

"We wish Jayson great success and we’re thrilled to help him achieve it by donating 500 dozen doughnuts when he restarts his business," Krispy Kreme said.
