Get ready to dip your doughnut dreams in a side of fries because Krispy Kreme's signature pastries are about to become a staple at McDonald's locations throughout Pittsburgh next week, broadening the horizon for those seeking a quick sugar fix alongside their Big Mac. As reported by WPXI, McDonald’s patrons will have the choice to savor the sweetness of original glazed, chocolate iced with sprinkles, and chocolate iced "kreme" filled doughnuts starting Tuesday, November 12.

Not only can customers enjoy these treats individually or in a pack of six, this sugary partnership is not just a brief fling, it's a long-term commitment that will roll out the doughnut delight to McDonald's eateries nationwide by the end of 2026. Adding a layer to morning meal options, this move might be seen as McDonald's strategic play to sprinkle a bit more competition in the breakfast battleground—a space currently dominated by heavyweights like Starbucks and Dunkin', CBS News Pittsburgh detailed how the partnership could help McDonald's boost its breakfast and coffee sales. Krispy Kreme, on the other hand, is set to more than double their footprint, a noteworthy expansion from their current 350 locations, predominantly scattered in California and the South.

Krispy Kreme’s president and CEO Josh Charlesworth was quoted expressing the consumer enthusiasm that has been a catalyst for this collaboration: "The top request we receive from consumers, every day, is, 'please bring Krispy Kreme to my town.' Partnering with McDonald's on a national scale will provide our fans and doughnut lovers unprecedented daily access to fresh doughnuts and the joy that is Krispy Kreme." These were his words according to a sedulous disclosure in a statement reported by CBS News Pittsburgh.
