KRISPY Kreme plans to open a 24-hour, seven day a week drive-through shop on Port Rd in West Croydon.

The $2 million, two-storey complex would also be a manufacturing site for the American brand and would distribute the doughnuts to other Krispy Kreme franchises, which the company plans to open throughout Adelaide.

A convenience store and a new service station are also planned for the site, near Port Rd's intersection with Rosetta St, about 5km from the CBD.

For years lovers of the doughnuts have been forced to bring them home from the eastern states.

Peregrine Corporation - which owns the On The Run fuel and retail outlets - has lodged plans for the Port Rd store with Charles Sturt Council. The company has also applied for approval from Salisbury Council for another outlet at Port Wakefield.

Krispy Kreme general manager Mark Higginbottom said more than 30 jobs would be created by the Port Rd store's opening. Another 30 are expected to be created at Port Wakefield.

"We hope to introduce this brand to SA six months from the date of receiving a council approval," Mr Higginbotham said.

He said Peregrine would spend $10 million over the next three years on building Krispy Kreme outlets and marketing the brand in SA.

The company is also planning a shop in the CBD after the Port Rd and Port Wakefield sites are established. The brand is now sold in 21 countries.

Mr Higginbottom said the company had consulted residents near the Port Rd site and he did not expect any complaints.

Residents can view plans for the outlet at West Croydon on the council's website, www.charlessturt.sa.gov.au.

Submissions are open until tomorrow (Thursday, June 20).
