Krispy Kreme Announces Major Menu Change Starting Next Week
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Krispy Kreme announced it will add several pumpkin spice offerings to its menu as early as next week, starting August 11. Why It Matters The annual release of pumpkin spice treats has become a major event for food and beverage chains in the United States, reflecting both consumer demand and seasonal marketing strategies. By launching its pumpkin spice menu earlier and for an extended period, Krispy Kreme is catering to the rising anticipation from fans and aiming to capture market share before competitors like Starbucks unveil their fall offerings later in August. The Krispy Kreme corporate logo is displayed at a San Diego store on January 31. The Krispy Kreme corporate logo is displayed at a San Diego store on January To Know The Pumpkin Spice Original Glazed Doughnut will return this year, Krispy Kreme announced Wednesday. The treat, which is a yeast doughnut flavored with a blend of pumpkin spices and coated with Krispy Kreme's signature glaze, will be available only from August 11 to August 17, individually and by the dozen at participating locations, as well as for online pickup and delivery orders. In 2024, the doughnut was sold for only three days, making this year's one-week run notable for fans. In addition to the headline item, Krispy Kreme will debut three other pumpkin spice-themed products starting August 11 and available throughout the fall: Original Glazed Pumpkin Spice Cake Doughnut —a cake-style doughnut infused with pumpkin spice flavor, available in shops and in six-pack boxes delivered fresh to select retailers. —a cake-style doughnut infused with pumpkin spice flavor, available in shops and in six-pack boxes delivered fresh to select retailers.

Pumpkin Spice Coffee—available hot or iced. Stores operating across the U.S. will stock these pumpkin treats. The pumpkin spice lineup at Krispy Kreme launches two weeks ahead of Starbucks' annual Pumpkin Spice Latte, which will return August 26. This preemptive move may entice seasonal flavor enthusiasts to visit Krispy Kreme before Starbucks' fall menu appears. "The pumpkin-themed bonanza of items we've seen in recent years has spurred from seasonal trends that have been a real boost to sales for a number of other chains," Alex Beene, financial literacy instructor for the University of Tennessee at Martin, told Newsweek. "It's no surprise to see Krispy Kreme introduce similar new items in an appeal to generate more foot traffic." The limited availability of the Pumpkin Spice Original Glazed Doughnut may also drive increased customer visits and online engagement for the brand, experts say. "Companies are now engaging in the human condition of scarcity," Kevin Thompson, CEO of 9i Capital Group and host of the 9innings podcast, told Newsweek. "Such items are presented as limited time offers which will push someone towards a purchase of what is seemingly a special hot item." What People Are Saying Alison Holder, Krispy Kreme chief brand and product officer, told Newsweek: "Pumpkin spice fans are counting down the days to their favorite season and we're happy to kick it off by bringing back our Pumpkin Spice Original Glazed doughnut – earlier and for a longer period. But it won't be around long. Let Pumpkin Spice Season begin!" Thompson also told Newsweek: "Fast food is dealing with higher input cost, and they are using marketing tactics to engage the end consumer in hopes of creating demand for a product. Krispy Kreme is no different, and the desire is by bringing back a product for a limited time, it will boost margins." Beene also told Newsweek: "Krispy Kreme like other restaurants, has seen a decline in sales as customers prefer to save money and dine at home. These menu additions are one way of trying to win back customers who haven't been coming in as frequently as they have in the past." What Happens Next Krispy Kreme's Pumpkin Spice Original Glazed Doughnut will only be available August 11 to August 17, and the newly introduced fall menu items will remain in stores and select retailers for the remainder of the season.
