Krispy Kreme has opened its first store in Madrid, Spain.

The store is part of a minority interest joint venture with Glaseados Originales. The Madrid store is the first of several planned in Spain, where the company aims to open more than 50 locations over the next four years.

Two additional stores in Madrid are expected to open before the end of 2025, with future expansions planned in Barcelona, Valencia, Málaga, Zaragoza and Bilbao. Five of the locations will serve as combined retail and production hubs.

Krispy Kreme CEO Josh Charlesworth said: “We’re thrilled to introduce Krispy Kreme’s iconic, fresh-made doughnuts to Spain. Partnering with Glaseados Originales not only strengthens our international presence with a highly experienced local operator but also reinforces our commitment to scaling efficiently through our franchise model that supports sustainable, profitable growth.”

Krispy Kreme also plans openings in Brazil and Uzbekistan. In São Paulo, two stores are scheduled through a joint venture with AmPM, a subsidiary of Ipiranga. One will follow the brand’s new store design, while the other will be a smaller kiosk. Both will offer local and core flavours.

In Uzbekistan, the company will open its first store in Tashkent through a franchise agreement with Food Town Logistics-Group, with plans for more than 70 locations in the next five years.

Charlesworth added: “As we grow our international presence, we’re focused on sharing the joy that is Krispy Kreme with more people, in more places. From Spain to Brazil to Uzbekistan, we love seeing the excitement from fans around the world as they enjoy our fresh, delicious treats."
