KRISPY KREME® Celebrates 88 th Birthday With 88-Cent Original Glazed® Dozens on Friday, July 18

CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Doughnut and dozens fans, mark your calendars! This Friday, July 18, Krispy Kreme® celebrates 88 years of hot, fresh and iconic Original Glazed® doughnuts by offering a dozen for just 88 cents with the purchase of any dozen at regular price. "Eighty-eight has never felt and tasted so great,' said Alison Holder, Krispy Kreme Chief Brand and Product Officer. 'It's a real joy every year celebrating Krispy Kreme's birthday with our fans and treating them to a special deal. We're so grateful for their love and loyalty.' This Friday only, guests who purchase any dozen at regular price can receive an Original Glazed dozen for just 88 cents – limit two dozen when purchased in-shop and via drive-thru and one dozen when purchased online for pickup or delivery at participating shops across the U.S. while supplies last. Use BDAY to redeem online. Krispy Kreme was founded in 1937 by Vernon Rudolph, who began selling doughnuts to grocery stores. Romanced by the irresistible scent of doughnut-making drifting into the streets, passersby asked if they could buy hot, fresh doughnuts. So, Rudolph cut a hole in an outside wall and began selling Original Glazed doughnuts directly to customers on the sidewalk. Today, Krispy Kreme continues to evolve its menu with a wide range of delicious doughnut innovations, while the Original Glazed doughnut remains just as melt-in-your-mouth delicious and iconic as ever, enjoyed by all generations – especially when the brand's beloved Hot Light is on. Krispy Kreme doughnuts are available in-shop and for pickup or delivery via Krispy Kreme's app and website, individually and by the dozen. Guests can also enjoy Krispy Kreme doughnuts by the dozens and 6-pack boxes at select retailers. Visit to find a U.S. shop or retailer near you.

Krispy Kreme and McDonald's USA Announce Joint Decision to End Partnership

CHARLOTTE, N.C. & CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Krispy Kreme, Inc. (NASDAQ: DNUT) and McDonald's USA announced that, after careful consideration, the companies have jointly decided to end their partnership, effective July 2, 2025. 'We were excited and pleased to partner with Krispy Kreme,' said Alyssa Buetikofer, McDonald's USA's Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer. 'We had strong collaboration with Krispy Kreme and they delivered a great, high-quality product for us, and while the partnership met our expectations for McDonald's and Owner/Operators, this needed to be a profitable business model for Krispy Kreme as well.' 'Our two companies partnered very closely, each supporting execution, marketing, and training, delivering a great consumer experience in approximately 2,400 McDonald's restaurants,' said Josh Charlesworth, Krispy Kreme CEO. 'Ultimately, efforts to bring our costs in line with unit demand were unsuccessful, making the partnership unsustainable for us.' Charlesworth added. To drive future sustainable growth, Krispy Kreme is focused on making its fresh doughnuts available in more places, not just to eat but to share, through its two largest opportunities: profitable U.S. expansion through high-volume retail points of distribution and capital-light international franchise growth. Krispy Kreme represented a small, non-material part of McDonald's breakfast business. Breakfast is a core pillar of McDonald's business strategy, and the company remains focused on delivering delicious, affordable and convenient options to help fans start their day.
