The rest have been tucked inside steeples and flagpoles, on rooftops and water towers and in giant fake trees adorning rarefied real estate from Virginia's Mount Vernon to California's Hearst Castle.

It was 65 years ago this month that Vernon Rudolph opened the first Krispy Kreme in Winston-Salem. As the company grew into a regional institution, Rudolph ensured consistency by providing the mix to each franchise and creating specially designed machines to automate the doughnut-making process. Beatrice Foods bought the company in 1976, three years after Rudolph's death, and the franchisees took control in 1982. Expansion beyond...
