As reported by CNBC, McDonald’s will be selling Krispy Kreme doughnuts at nine locations in Kentucky, starting Oct. 26, as part of a trial run.
The new trial run of McDonald’s X Krispy Kreme
The test run of this collab will let McDonald’s assess how teaming up with Krispy Kreme could impact its operations.
McDonald’s customers will be able to buy Krispy Kreme’s original glazed, chocolate iced with sprinkles and raspberry filled doughnuts, either individually or in packs of six. The participating McDonald’s locations will sell the doughnuts all day, but these would not be available for delivery.
