Recognizing the universal appeal of a freshly made doughnut alongside their favorite McCafé beverages, McDonald’s and Krispy Kreme are embarking on this sweet venture. The phased rollout will see Krispy Kreme’s treats making their way to McDonald’s locations across the nation, offering fans a delightful addition to their dining experience.
Starting with a breakfast-time treat that lasts all day, fans can enjoy three of Krispy Kreme’s most beloved doughnuts, available individually or in boxes of six, while supplies last:
- The Original Glazed Doughnut: A melt-in-your-mouth classic coated in Krispy Kreme’s signature glaze.
- The Chocolate Iced with Sprinkles Doughnut: A chocolatey variation of the original, dipped in chocolate icing and adorned with rainbow sprinkles.
- The Chocolate Iced Kreme Filled Doughnut: Featuring a light, fluffy dough filled with smooth Kreme and dipped in chocolate icing.
The decision to expand this partnership comes on the heels of a successful test run at 160 McDonald’s locations in the Lexington and Louisville areas of Kentucky, where demand for Krispy Kreme doughnuts surpassed expectations. These pilot restaurants will continue to offer Krispy Kreme treats as the nationwide rollout progresses.
To commemorate the partnership, Krispy Kreme is offering a special promotion: fans who visit US Krispy Kreme shops between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. today (Tuesday, March 26) will receive one free Original Glazed Doughnut.
As part of this collaboration, Krispy Kreme anticipates doubling its points of access nationwide by the end of 2026, thereby expanding its reach and enhancing its Delivered Fresh Daily channel.
More details regarding the nationwide rollout will be provided by Krispy Kreme and McDonald’s in the coming months, promising a sweet addition to the McDonald’s dining experience in the near future.
