McDonald's to Launch Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Nationwide by 2026

McDonald's is teaming up with Krispy Kreme to bring their delicious doughnuts to over 13,500 locations across the United States. The partnership will begin with a phased rollout in the second half of this year, with full availability expected by 2026.

Expansion of Krispy Kreme's Presence

This move will significantly expand Krispy Kreme's reach, more than doubling the number of locations where their doughnuts can be purchased. The partnership will give McDonald's customers access to Krispy Kreme's iconic Original Glazed, Chocolate Iced with Sprinkles, and Chocolate Iced Kreme Filled doughnuts, along with other popular varieties. | Doughnut Variety | Description | |---|---| | Original Glazed | A classic Krispy Kreme doughnut with a sweet, melt-in-your-mouth glaze | | Chocolate Iced with Sprinkles | A decadent chocolate-iced doughnut topped with colorful sprinkles | | Chocolate Iced Kreme Filled | A chocolate-iced doughnut filled with a creamy chocolate filling |

Convenience and Variety for Customers

The partnership will provide customers with greater convenience and variety in their fast food dining experiences. McDonald's customers can now enjoy a satisfying combination of their favorite burgers and fries with the sweet treat of Krispy Kreme doughnuts. "Our customers love the convenience and value of our menu," said Guillaume Huin, a senior marketing director at McDonald's. "We are excited to add Krispy Kreme doughnuts to our lineup, giving our customers the best of both worlds."

Strengthening the Fast Food Landscape

This partnership is part of a larger trend of fast food chains collaborating with snack makers to enhance their menus and attract new customers. McDonald's and Krispy Kreme join other successful partnerships, such as Wendy's and Cinnabon, Subway and Cinnabon, and Subway and Auntie Anne's. The addition of Krispy Kreme doughnuts to McDonald's menu is a testament to the growing demand for high-quality and indulgent treats in the fast food industry. As the partnership rolls out nationwide, it is expected to drive significant growth for both companies and delight customers with a sweet and satisfying dining experience.
