The company generates revenue of $1,522.6 million through three primary reportable segments: the U.S. segment contributing $913.1 million, the International segment contributing $535.1 million, and the Market Development segment contributing $74.5 million.

The company employs approximately 17,000 team members worldwide and operates a capital-efficient Hub and Spoke model that leverages production capabilities from manufacturing hubs to supply smaller retail locations. Core products include the iconic Original Glazed doughnut, complemented by seasonal offerings, limited-time offerings, and smaller portion options designed for gifting and sharing. Krispy Kreme manufactures proprietary doughnut mixes at facilities in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and Pico Rivera, California, domestically, with additional international production locations. The company operates seven domestic Doughnut Factories and 39 international Doughnut Factories, of which 25 are operated by franchisees.
