The company is asking customers to be respectful of residents and is installing new signs to remind them not to beep their horns.

Krispy Kreme Ireland responded to the incident in a Facebook post.

"Following from the well-received opening of our new store in Blanchardstown Centre, we are aware that a small number of customers using the drive-thru service have been beeping their car horns late at night.

We are naturally asking them to stop and we do apologise to local residents who are affected by this.

"To help encourage drivers to be respectful of residents we are getting signage made asking them to be quiet in the area and looking into other options to improve the situation," the post read.

The company has asked for all customers coming to the drive-thru to respect the area and the residents who live nearby.

Since its opening as the first ever Irish Krispy Kreme store, the Blanchardstown store has enjoyed a busy start with queues out the door every day.

But you might as well be grab a doughnut while you're there! 😉
