McDonald's to start selling Krispy Kreme donuts, with national rollout by 2026
CBSN
McDonald's will begin selling Krispy Kreme donuts at its fast food locations this year as part of a phased rollout that will bring the baked goods to its restaurants nationwide by the end of 2026.
Under a partnership announced Tuesday, Krispy Kreme will deliver three versions of its donuts — glazed, chocolate iced with sprinkles and chocolate iced with a cream filling — to McDonald's locations each morning. Customers can buy the donuts individually or in a box of six.
The rollout, which will begin in the second half of 2024, comes after the companies tested the partnership at 160 McDonald's locations in Kentucky and Indiana last year. Demand exceeded both companies' expectations, Krispy Kreme CEO Josh Charlesworth told CNBC.
