Where can I find Krispy Kreme in Ireland?

Is there a Krispy Kreme in MA?

While this guide focuses on Ireland, Krispy Kreme has locations in the US including Massachusetts. Use the official locator for US stores.

If you’re searching “krispy kreme near me” in Dublin, Waterford, or Cork, the easiest way to locate a store is through the dedicated Ireland locator at shops.krispykreme.ie (Krispy Kreme Locator IE – official brand site). The tool uses geolocation to show nearby outlets and includes all current Irish locations.

Krispy Kreme locations in Ireland

• Waterford: Check the locator — availability may be via delivery or Tesco.
• Cork: Multiple points of sale, with options for collection and delivery.

Using the Krispy Kreme store locator

Visit shops.krispykreme.ie and allow location access. Results show address, opening hours, and whether the location offers drive-thru or delivery.

Krispy Kreme delivery options

In Ireland, you can order fresh donuts via Just Eat (Just Eat Ireland – delivery aggregator). Many stores also offer click-and-collect through the official website.

Do Tesco stock Krispy Kreme doughnuts?

Yes, Tesco Ireland sells Krispy Kreme products. While the specific “Choose Your Own 9Pk” is widely available, you can check current stock on the Tesco Groceries website (Tesco Ireland – grocery retailer).

How to buy Krispy Kreme at Tesco

Search “Krispy Kreme” on the Tesco Ireland grocery site. You can order online for delivery or check availability at your local Tesco store.

Krispy Kreme variety packs at Tesco

Typically you’ll find mixed boxes of glazed, chocolate-iced, and filled doughnuts. Pack sizes range from individual to 9-piece selections.

The implication: If you can’t find a Krispy Kreme store within 15 minutes, Tesco is likely your next-best bet for that fresh dozen.

Are McDonald’s selling Krispy Kreme donuts?

Not anymore — at least not in the United States. The two companies ended their partnership, with the last day of sales set for July 2, 2025 (Food Business News – industry publication). In Ireland, McDonald’s never rolled out Krispy Kreme doughnuts, so the question is moot for local readers.

McDonald’s and Krispy Kreme partnership details

• Announced March 2024 with plans for national U.S. rollout by end of 2026 (McDonald’s Corporate – official U.S. announcement).
• Three doughnut varieties were to be delivered fresh daily.
• By March 30, 2025, doughnuts were in more than 2,400 McDonald’s restaurants (Baking Business – trade publication).
• Expansion was paused in early 2025, then terminated due to lack of long-term profitability (Restaurant Dive – restaurant industry news).

Which McDonald’s locations offered Krispy Kreme?

Only U.S. locations were included — none in Ireland or other markets. If you’re in Ireland, this partnership never reached your local McDonald’s.

The pattern: A bold expansion plan that fizzled because the economics didn’t work for Krispy Kreme. For Irish readers, the takeaway is simple — your McDonald’s won’t have them, but your Tesco will.

How much does one dozen cost at Krispy Kreme?

Pricing varies by location and pack size. The official price list is available on krispykreme.com (Krispy Kreme – brand website) and the Irish shop at krispykreme.ie (Krispy Kreme Ireland – local site). Typically, a dozen original glazed doughnuts falls in the range of £10–£15 (or € equivalent), but always check locally.

Krispy Kreme pricing for individual donuts

Individual donuts are usually priced between €1.50 and €2.50, depending on the variety and location.

Cost of dozen vs. other quantities

• Half-dozen: roughly half the dozen price
• Dozen: standard value pack
• Custom boxes: price varies by selection

Discounts and deals

Krispy Kreme does not officially advertise a senior discount (see FAQ below). However, they occasionally run promotions via their app and email newsletter.

The trade-off: You can get a dozen for less from Tesco than from a dedicated Krispy Kreme shop, but the freshness may differ.

Are Krispy Kreme donuts fried or baked?

Krispy Kreme doughnuts are fried, not baked. The process is shown in the Food Network program Unwrapped (Food Network Unwrapped – television episode, tier2 source), which documents the entire production line: from proofing to frying to glazing.

The doughnut-making process

• Dough is mixed, cut, and proofed (left to rise).
• Doughnuts are fried in vegetable oil at a controlled temperature.
• They pass through a waterfall of glaze immediately after frying.
• Each piece is hand-checked before packaging (as stated on the Krispy Kreme Ireland site).

Ingredients of Krispy Kreme donuts

Standard ingredients include enriched wheat flour, sugar, palm oil, yeast, and natural flavors. Full ingredient lists are available at krispykreme.com.

Why this matters: If you’re watching oil content, a fried doughnut packs more fat. But for many, that’s precisely the appeal.

For anyone in Ireland searching “krispy kreme near me”, the path is clearer than ever: use the official locator, check Tesco for variety packs, and order via Just Eat for delivery. The McDonald’s option was never available locally and is gone globally. Your go-to choices are a dedicated shop, a supermarket, or your phone. Irish doughnut lovers must weigh convenience against the full hot-doughnut experience when choosing where to buy.
