Krispy Kreme Celebrates McDonald’s Partnership with Free Doughnut Offer for Chicago Customers This Week

How does a free doughnut sound after enjoying your favorite McDonald’s meal? If that sounds appealing, here’s how you can claim your treat!

Krispy Kreme has been expanding its market reach in bold ways, not only offering their doughnuts globally but also finding new avenues for distribution in the U.S. Earlier this year, the exciting partnership between Krispy Kreme and McDonald’s was announced, resulting in Krispy Kreme doughnuts being available in thousands of McDonald’s locations. If you're a McDonald's fan, you may have noticed these sweet additions. Now, you’re in luck again because Krispy Kreme is offering a free treat with a simple requirement.

To celebrate the arrival of their glazed, festive, and cream-filled doughnuts at McDonald’s locations in the Chicago area, Krispy Kreme is offering a free Original Glazed doughnut to anyone who presents a McDonald’s receipt (paper or digital) dated between October 10 and October 14, 2024. The freebie can be claimed at participating Krispy Kreme locations across the U.S. during this period. However, note that it’s limited to one doughnut per customer.

The rollout of Krispy Kreme doughnuts in Chicago McDonald’s locations marks the first phase of a broader expansion, with plans to offer doughnuts in over 1,000 McDonald’s restaurants by the end of 2024 and eventually in 12,000 locations by 2026. Three fan-favorite doughnuts will be available daily at select McDonald’s locations in Chicago:

• Original Glazed Doughnut: A timeless classic known for its signature glaze and melt-in-your-mouth texture.
  
• Chocolate Iced Kreme-Filled Doughnut: This fluffy doughnut is dipped in chocolate icing and filled with creamy Kreme for a chocolatey indulgence.
  
• Chocolate Iced with Sprinkles Doughnut: A fun, festive treat dipped in chocolate icing and rainbow-colored sprinkles.

Krispy Kreme Expands Reach with Walmart, Target Partnerships and Unveils Festive Ghostbusters, Pumpkin Spice Collections

Looking beyond McDonald’s, Krispy Kreme has even more in store for doughnut lovers. The company, which handles the production and distribution of its products, is looking to expand its presence by adding more “hubs” across the country. Here’s where we can expect to see more Krispy Kreme doughnuts:

• Walmart: As of August 2024, Krispy Kreme products are available in 25% of Walmart locations. Discussions are underway to potentially expand this partnership nationwide, which would significantly increase access to Krispy Kreme doughnuts, given Walmart’s dominant market share in U.S. grocery sales.
  
• Target: Krispy Kreme began testing its products in select Target stores in 2023, starting in Dallas, with plans to expand to Chicago and other metro areas. While no official announcements have been made regarding a nationwide rollout, the collaboration between the two brands holds promise for the future.

Krispy Kreme’s limited-time collections are always a hit, offering unique and seasonal flavors. From the colorful Barbie x Krispy Kreme collection to the delicious Dolly Southern Sweets Doughnut Collection, these unique offerings have fans buzzing. With fall and Halloween in full swing, two more seasonal collections are worth checking out:

• Ghostbusters Collection: To celebrate Halloween, Krispy Kreme has released four Ghostbusters-inspired doughnuts. The collection includes the Ghostbusters Cookies N’ Creme Doughnut, Slimer Doughnut, Stay Puft Marshmallow Man Pull-Aparts, and Ecto-Sprinkled Doughnut. Available until Halloween, these doughnuts can be purchased individually or as a specialty box of 11, with three pieces of each flavor and two pull-apart.
  

Additionally, Krispy Kreme offers a special deal: buy any dozen or 16-count minis at regular price and get an Original Glazed Dozen for $2 with the code SCARYGOOD (valid until October 13, 2024).

• Essential Pumpkin Spice Collection: Perfect for the fall season, this collection features the Pumpkin Spice Cake Doughnut and various Pumpkin Spice beverages, including iced, frozen, and hot options. Available through November 28, 2024, this collection offers a cozy and flavorful way to celebrate autumn.
