The building, owned by basketball legend O'Neal, had yet to reopen following an arson attack in February. A fire was intentionally set along the exterior of the building and quickly spread inside, investigators said. Two employees escaped safely and no one was injured but the building suffered significant damage.

There was no indication that any arrests had been made in the investigation by the time of the second fire. After the February blaze, O'Neal, who bought the store in 2016, promised to rebuild and reopen the store, which has been at the site for more than 60 years. The Midtown Krispy Kreme was one of the first locations established outside the company's main bases of operations in Winston-Salem, North Carolina and Nashville, Tennessee. After Martin Luther King Jr.'s funeral in April 1968, the shop fed mourners by donating 150 dozen donuts to Atlanta churches.
