There will soon be a doughnut-sized hole in McDonald’s U.S. menu.

McDonald’s and Krispy Kreme said Tuesday that they’re ending their partnership July 2, a little more than a year after it was announced. Krispy Kreme said demand for its doughnuts at McDonald’s wasn’t strong enough to recoup its costs.

McDonald’s announced in March 2024 that it would begin selling doughnuts at participating locations after a successful pilot in Kentucky. The doughnuts were sold individually or in boxes of six.

The companies planned a phased rollout that would bring doughnuts to McDonald’s nationwide by the end of 2026. But the companies decided to call it quits after introducing doughnuts in just 2,400 of McDonald’s nearly 14,000 stores. — Associated Press
