History

The chain's slogan is "Home of the Warm 'n Fresh Donut," and it claims to be the West Coast's largest doughnut chain. It also offers its customers a 14-doughnut dozen, as opposed to the standard baker's dozen of 13.

In 2004, Winchell's was purchased by Yum-Yum Donuts, a company which operates 70 donut shops under its own name, but continues to operate Winchell's shops under their name.

From 2002 to 2008, Winchell's closed its shops in Portland, Oregon and they were replaced by "Heavenly Donuts".

In 2005, it withdrew from the Kansas City area, and most locations became Krispy Kreme.
