Krispy Kreme unveils its Stars, Stripes, & Sweetness Collection to help fans celebrate 4th of July
Krispy Kreme kicked off its 4th of July festivities this week with an all-new donut collection. The chain's Stars, Stripes & Sweetness Collection features Independence Day-themed treats that are making customers enter sugar comas. The collection includes three donuts: Freedom Ring, USA Part, and Vanilla Cookies & Kreme Liberty Crunch. 'Whether you're headed to parades, parties or pools for the holiday, our Stars, Stripes & Sweetness Collection is the perfect addition to sweeten your Fourth of July celebrations and make the day a blast,' said chief growth officer Dave Skena. 'Thank you for giving me another reason to visit,' a fan joked on a Krispy Kreme's Instagram post. 'Best looking 1 million calories in the world,' another person commented. Krispy Kreme will conclude its celebration on the holiday by giving out free glazed donuts to customers who wear red, white and blue at participating shops. The donut empire's latest collection comes after the chain and McDonald's announced their plan to terminate their partnership on July 2. A few commenters highly praised the chain's 'amazing' freedom donuts, which are glazed treats dipped in white icing, blue sprinkles, and white stars. The chain finished off the first of its American-filled masterpieces with red icing stripes. Customers also spoke highly of USA Party, a glazed donut with white buttercreme topped with a USA party sprinkle blend and sugar piece. The collection's third and final product was made for fans looking to try an unglazed donut with vanilla cookies & Kreme filling dipped in white icing. The chain topped the donut off with vanilla cookies, patriotic sprinkles, and a white icing drizzle. Besides its 4th of July collection, Krispy Kreme is offering its customers a box of a dozen glazed donuts for only $12. This deal is only available for a limited time and will end by closing time today at participating stores. Although most customers were thrilled about the latest additions, some of them slammed Krispy Kreme for removing or not adding glazed donuts to McDonald's locations. Krispy Kreme made headlines after announcing its partnership with McDonald's will be terminated Krispy Kreme and McDonald's partnership made headlines after they began the collaboration in 2022. The chains started out slowly by testing the donut sales at 9 McDonald's restaurants in Kentucky. The idea expanded to other stores nationwide, and by 2024, the companies had planned to offer Krispy Kreme donuts in all US locations by next year. Plans changed once McDonald's US sales fell 3.6 percent and Krispy Kreme's organic revenue dropped by 1 percent. Donuts were being offered in over 2,400 McDonald's restaurants when the companies decided to pause the partnership last month before pulling the plug this week. The chains announced the termination only a couple of weeks after Krispy Kreme sold its remaining ownership stake in Insomnia Cookies. The company earned $75 million from the sale, and is planning on using the money to pay off debt, which currently sits at around $1 billion.
