The two brands are expanding the partnership after a local test proved successful. Krispy Kreme donuts were sold in 160 McDonald’s restaurants in Louisville and Lexington, Kentucky. The sweet treats will appear under more Golden Arches later this year and will be in restaurants across the country by the end of 2026.
Will donuts still be Krispy Kreme Fresh?
Melt-in-your-mouth pastries will be delivered daily to preserve flavor and freshness Krispy Kreme customers love it. Three of the most popular flavors will be available: the chocolate iced donut with sprinkles, the original glazed donut and the iced chocolate kreme filled donut.
Customers can purchase a single donut or boxes of six starting at breakfast. The icing-covered yeast will be available for purchase all day until sold out.
McDonald’s prides itself on introducing new foods that keep its customers loyal and happy.
Company leaders share their ideas
Tariq Hassan, US CMO of Mickey Dee stated: “Since the launch of breakfast nearly 50 years ago, we have continued to offer new menu items, flavors and experiences that have made McDonald’s an irreplaceable part of fans’ morning routines.”
Krispy Kreme President and CEO Josh Charlesworth stated: “The number one request we get from consumers every day is ‘Please bring Krispy Kreme to my city.’ Partnering with McDonald’s on a national scale will provide our and donut lovers with unprecedented daily access to fresh donuts and the joy that is Krispy Kreme.”
Charlesworth wanted to make it easier for customers to access Krispy Kreme treats. Partnering with McDonald’s allowed them to do just that.
He continued, “Significantly, by making Krispy Kreme accessible to fans across the country through this partnership, we expect to more than double our access points by the end of 2026.”
“The partnership accelerates the development of our existing Delivered Fresh Daily channel, creating operational leverage through distribution density and production utilization,” Charlesworth stated.
