After a year of selling McMuffins and glazed donuts out of the same building, McDonald’s announced that it would begin selling Krispy Kreme doughnuts nationwide.
The national expansion comes after McDonald’s and Krispy Kreme tested selling doughnuts at the fast food chain in select markets at 160 locations throughout the last year.
The companies shared that the test showed “consumer excitement and demand exceeded expectations.”
“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,” Tariq Hassan, McDonald’s USA’s Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer, said in a press release.
Now, three of Krispy Kreme’s most popular doughnuts will be made available nationwide later this year, as customers will be able to choose from the baker’s iconic Original Glazed® Doughnut, the Chocolate Iced with Sprinkles Doughnut, and the Chocolate Iced Kreme™ Filled Doughnut.
The sweet treats will be sold individually or in boxes of six and will be delivered fresh to McDonald’s restaurants every day, according to the companies.
They will be served at breakfast and will last throughout the day while supplies last.
“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,” Krispy Kreme President and CEO Josh Charlesworth said.
The rollout is expected to begin in the coming months and finish sometime in 2026. More information is expected to be provided soon, the companies shared.
