It's competing with Dunkin and Tim Hortons and it's losing. So what Krispy Kreme doing now?

Partnering with McDonald's, Krispy Kreme will be selling its products at select locations in the United States. Starting on October 26, McDonald's will sell the famous glazed donuts, chocolate with sprinkles and raspberry filled donuts at nine locations in Louisville.
The donuts will be purchased in the six or dozen through drive-thru or inside restaurant.
If this takes off, McDonald's might purchase the company from JAB Holdings.
Krispy Kreme was founded in 1937 in Winston-Salem. It was a favorite in the South before it expanded into the U.S.
Krispy Kreme has struggled throughout the years. With folks being concerned about their healths, donuts, sweets and sugar took a backseat. Krispy Kreme franchises struggled getting the products and of course, owners couldn't afford the licensing fees this company offered.
Last year, Krispy Kreme went back to being a publicly traded company.
Being a resident of Dayton, I remember we had one location in Kettering. That location closed in 2015.
The closest locations are in Columbus and West Chester Township, Ohio.
