McDonald’s is expanding its partnership with Krispy Kreme, giving customers access to both brands’ beloved breakfast offerings in more U.S. locations. This collaboration follows a successful test run, combining McDonald’s fast-food favorites with Krispy Kreme’s famous donuts for a morning treat like no other.
McDonald’s Partners with Krispy Kreme to Bring Customers a Morning Treat Amidst Declining Sales
Early mornings can be challenging, especially for those who find it difficult to wake up early or have a long commute to work. Despite the struggle, many people have a little morning treat that motivates them to get out of bed and brightens their day.
With various breakfast options available, choosing just one can be overwhelming, and sometimes, there isn’t enough time to visit multiple places. Understanding the importance of breakfast, McDonald’s has decided to team up with another expert in morning indulgence to offer customers the best of both worlds, per The Street.
Although McDonald’s remains the top fast-food chain in the U.S., the company has faced a challenging year, falling short of analysts’ expectations in the last two quarters. According to McDonald’s latest earnings report, global comparable sales dropped by 1%, net revenues remained flat, and U.S. sales declined by 0.7% compared to the previous year.
Rather than remain passive in declining sales, McDonald’s acted quickly, reaching out to Krispy Kreme, another leading brand in the breakfast sector.
McDonald’s and Krispy Kreme Expand Partnership, Combining Two Breakfast Favorites for a Larger U.S. Rollout
Krispy Kreme, one of the top doughnut chains in the U.S., has proven successful. In its Q2 earnings report for 2024, Krispy Kreme reported a 7.3% increase in total revenues, with U.S. sales growing by 8.2% compared to the previous year.
Given the success of both companies, it was only a matter of time before McDonald’s and Krispy Kreme joined forces. In October 2022, McDonald’s first tested a partnership by selling Krispy Kreme donuts for a limited time in nine restaurants across Louisville and nearby areas.
After years of planning and anticipation, the partnership between McDonald’s and Krispy Kreme has returned—this time on a much larger scale. This iconic collaboration brings together two breakfast powerhouses, offering customers a blend of their favorite morning treats in one place.
