McDonald’s ends bold partnership that consumers rejected
The fast-food giant found little success welcoming a popular product to its menus.

In 2022, fast-food giants McDonald’s (MCD) and Krispy Kreme (DNUT) joined forces to test a unique collaboration.
It began with nine McDonald’s restaurants in Louisville, KY, and the surrounding area, selling three popular Krispy Kreme Doughnuts: the Original Glazed Doughnut, Chocolate Iced with Sprinkles Doughnut, and the Raspberry Filled Doughnut.
