CHARLOTTE, NC and CHICAGO — Krispy Kreme is bringing three of its offerings to McDonald’s restaurants across the country.
“The top request we receive from consumers, every day, is, ‘Please bring Krispy Kreme to my town,’” said Josh Charlesworth, president and CEO of Krispy Kreme. “Partnering with McDonald’s on a national scale will provide our fans and donut lovers unprecedented daily access to fresh donuts and the joy that is Krispy Kreme.”
The expansion of this partnership follows the pilot program run at McDonald’s restaurants in Lexington and Louisville, KY. Set to begin rolling out in McDonald’s locations later this year, the companies expect national availability of Krispy Kreme products at participating restaurants by the close of 2026.
Krispy Kreme’s Original Glazed, Chocolate Glazed with Sprinkles, and Chocolate Iced Kreme Filled donuts will be delivered fresh to McDonald’s restaurants daily. The sweet goods will be available individually or in 6-count boxes beginning at breakfast while supplies last.
“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, chief marketing and customer experience officer of McDonald’s USA. “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.”
