WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Inc. has signed a supply agreement with S&D Coffee Inc., which has purchased certain of the company's coffee roasting assets. The doughnut chain will continue to offer its existing line of Krispy Kreme signature coffees in its shops, which will now be supplied by S&D Coffee.
As is the case with many other restaurant concepts, Krispy Kreme's coffee will now be supplied by an outside vendor, said Brad Wall, Krispy Kreme senior vice president of supply chain. Identifying opportunities to leverage external [image-nocss] expertise is important to the restructuring of our supply chain operations.
Based in Concord, N.C., S&D Coffee serves more than 70,000 customers nationwide, including major restaurant chains. As one of the leading coffee roasters in the country, S&D Coffee will provide Krispy Kreme consumers with the high quality great tasting coffee they are accustomed to getting at their local Krispy Kreme shop, it said.
Winston-Salem, N.C.-based Krispy Kreme is a leading branded specialty retailer of premium-quality doughnuts, including its signature Hot Original Glazed. There are currently approximately 411 Krispy Kreme stores including satellites operating system-wide in 41 U.S. states, Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Kuwait, Mexico, the Philippines, the Republic of South Korea, the United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom.
