<p>McDonald’s and Krispy Kreme have a sweet update for doughnut fans everywhere.</p>
<div id="bwbodyimg">
<p>Krispy Kreme will soon provide fresh doughnuts everyday at McDonald’s restaurants nationwide. The phased rollout will begin in the second half this year with nationwide availability expected by the end of 2026.</p>
</div>
<p>Three of Krispy Kreme’s most popular doughnuts will be delivered <span class="bwuline">fresh</span> to McDonald’s restaurants every day. They’ll be available individually, or in boxes of six, starting at breakfast and lasting throughout the day – while supplies last:</p>
<ul class="bwlistdisc">
<li><b>The iconic Original Glazed Doughnut:</b> A melt-in-your-mouth doughnut covered in Krispy Kreme’s signature glaze. The doughnut that started it all.</li>
<li><b>The Chocolate Iced with Sprinkles Doughnut:</b> A chocolatey twist on the original, dipped in chocolate icing and covered in rainbow sprinkles.</li>
<li><b>The Chocolate Iced Kreme Filled Doughnut: </b>Made with a light, fluffy dough and filled with a smooth Kreme filling then dipped in chocolate icing.</li>
</ul>
<p>This follows a successful test at 160 McDonald’s restaurants in the Lexington and Louisville, KY areas where consumer excitement and demand exceeded expectations. These pilot restaurants will continue to serve Krispy Kreme doughnuts during the nationwide rollout.</p>
<p>“Since the launch of breakfast nearly 50 years ago, we’ve continued to offer new menu items, flavors and experiences that have made McDonald’s an irreplaceable part of fans’ morning routines,” said Tariq Hassan, McDonald’s USA’s Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer. “This partnership is an exciting next step in that journey and a chance to unlock new business opportunities in the breakfast category and throughout the day. Our fans’ love for Krispy Kreme runs deep, and we can’t wait to make it even easier for them to satisfy their sweet tooth at McDonald’s restaurants across the country.”</p>
<p>“The top request we receive from consumers, every day, is, ‘please bring Krispy Kreme to my town.’ Partnering with McDonald’s on a national scale will provide our fans and doughnut lovers unprecedented daily access to fresh doughnuts and the joy that is Krispy Kreme,” said Krispy Kreme President and CEO Josh Charlesworth.</p>
<p><b>Krispy Kreme More Than Doubles Points of Access</b></p>
<p>“Significantly, by making Kreme Krispy accessible to fans nationwide through this partnership, we expect to more than double our points of access by the end of 2026. The partnership accelerates the development of our existing Delivered Fresh Daily channel, creating operating leverage through distribution density and production utilization,” said Charlesworth.</p>
<p>Krispy Kreme has been scaling its supply chain, building a support team, adding technology and new equipment, and enhancing field training to support its Delivered Fresh Daily expansion, which includes this phased rollout.</p>
<p>Krispy Kreme operates in more than 35 countries through its unique network of fresh doughnut shops, partnerships with leading retailers, and a rapidly growing Ecommerce and delivery business with more than 14,000 fresh points of access.</p>
