Krispy Kreme Overhauls Its Menu

Krispy Kreme is overhauling its O-shaped offerings. On Nov. 3, the chain announced it is expanding its doughnut menu, adding six new permanent flavors and three new limited-time ones. Its permanent menu is growing from 10 to 16 full-sized doughnuts — and they’re all available starting today.

Introduction to the New Menu

Krispy Kreme says it has been testing this all-star roster for more than a year. The new slate includes trending flavors, flavors customers begged for on social media and popular limited-time doughnuts that have now been promoted.

In honor of the menu expansion, the chain tapped Grammy-winning singer Montell Jordan to remake his hit “This is How We Do It” into a doughnut-centric song, which will appear on social media.

The nine new doughnuts join the iconic Original Glazed doughnut and six other classic varieties, available individually and by the dozen.

New Permanent Doughnut Flavors

Reaction to the New Menu

“We are so excited to introduce nine new flavors to our lineup so everyone can build a dozen that is as unique as they are,” Alison Holder, Krispy Kreme’s chief brand and product officer, said in a press release. “We are bringing more variety, more flavor and most importantly more choice, and we can’t wait for consumers to show us how they dozen!”

Doughnuts Being Discontinued

Of course, as with any overhaul, there are some flavors customers will have to bid farewell to. In this case, those are Original Glazed Blueberry Cake, Original Glazed Lemon Filled and Cake Batter Doughuts.
“But fret not, these doughnuts could return in the future,” Krispy Kreme added.

Conclusion

Krispy Kreme’s menu overhaul brings a fresh wave of flavors to its loyal customers, offering something for everyone. With the introduction of new permanent and seasonal flavors, the chain is set to continue its legacy as a leader in the doughnut industry.
