UPDATE: Krispy Kreme Hiring For New West Sacramento Store

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – Krispy Kreme held a job fair on Monday to help fill 30 slots for its new West Sacramento location.

A few-dozen applicants armed with their resumes and a love for doughnuts showed up for the 8-hour fair at the Quality Inn on Northgate Boulevard.

"I have a job right now, but I'd like a second one for the summer," said Desiree Phillips.

She hopes her previous restaurant experience and her contagious smile land her one of these tasty jobs.

But she'll have some tough competition, like 16-year-old Kalea Sumandale, who wants to add Krispy Kreme employee to her high-school resume alongside her straight-A's and a fierce, go-get-'em attitude.

The Bay Area native says she's had a connection to the famous confectioner since childhood.

"I always had Krispy Kreme when I was growing up in the Bay Area. My mom would always take me there, so it has a sentimental value," she said.

The new store will open on July 9 in the Ikea parking lot in West Sacramento, next to Five Guys Burgers and Fries.
