Krispy Kreme keeps up with Kiwi demand

Krispy Kreme has begun the next phase of its New Zealand expansion with the announcement of two new Auckland stores.  The doughnut and coffee chain will continue to spread smiles across Auckland with a brand-new store in the CBD’s Chancery Square, and a site at the Domestic Airport.

Andrew McGuigan, CEO of Krispy Kreme Australia and New Zealand, is thrilled to be bringing more stores to Auckland. “We’ve been overwhelmed by Kiwi demand for Krispy Kreme and are excited by the success the Manukau store has experienced since opening in February.

“We can’t wait for more Kiwis to have access to our delicious, fresh doughnuts and hot barista-made coffee,” he says. Their expansion follows just five months after the Manukau store launch, which was the largest Krispy Kreme opening ever executed worldwide.

The flagship store currently serves 10,000 customers a week and will transfer fresh doughnuts hot off the line to the two new locations daily.

Kiwis will be able to enjoy Krispy Kreme’s delicious doughnuts in the inner city this coming November, by dining in at Chancery Square or having doughnuts delivered direct to their door via UBEREATS.  Travellers will be able to grab doughnuts and coffee on the go as they pass through the Regional end of Auckland Airport’s Domestic Terminal in early October.

Krispy Kreme’s new Auckland stores will create more than 60 new jobs, in addition to the 140 staff currently employed at their Manukau site.
