McDonald’s and Krispy Kreme put continuous deployment in the face of financial difficulties for the donut chain.
Krispy Kreme announced on Thursday that it would be “re -evaluated” the deployment calendar with the fast food giant after announcing that its net turnover has dropped nearly 60 million dollars, just over 20%.
The company sells its donuts to more than 2,400 McDonald’s in the United States, but will not develop in additional locations.
Krispy Kreme CEO, Josh Charlesworth, had initially targeted to sell donuts in all American McDonald’s restaurants by 2026.
The United States is home to more than 13,600 McDonald’s restaurants and more than 350 Krispy Kreme locations.
The stock of the donut chain dropped 25% at the opening bell yesterday.
“I remain confident in the long -term national opportunity, but we have to work with them to identify the levers to improve sales,” Charlesworth told CNBC.
Krispy Kreme and McDonald’s concluded their partnership in October 2022.
