Golden Krust as a franchise began on Gunhill Road in the Bronx in 1989 by Lowell Hawthorne, his 11 siblings and their families. Before that, Hawthorne's parents, Mavis and Ephraim Hawthorne, founded the original bakery, Hawthorne & Sons Bakery, in Jamaica, opening in 1949. Currently, Golden Krust has a manufacturing facility in The Bronx.
The next nearest locations are in Poughkeepsie and Peekskill, which opened its doors on Sept. 10.
The restaurant is open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday.
