I was walking by the shops of Mid Valley... to my suprise... i saw one store under work in progress which caught my eye.... and this... im proudly to write... finally,.. THEY'RE COMING TO TOWN!! WOOOHOOOOso here goes the news i got from their franchisee website aka Berjaya Corporation in Malaysia
No one needs to dream of Krispy Kreme or request from friends in Jakarta.
Doughnut maker Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Inc said yesterday it has a franchise agreement to establish 20 retail shops in Malaysia in the next five years.
The agreement is with Berjaya Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Sdn Bhd, a 70 per cent-owned subsidiary of Berjaya Corporation Berhad — tycoon Tan Sri Vincent Tan's listed company that already has interests in property investment and development; vacation timeshare, hotels, resorts and recreation development; consumer marketing and direct selling; financial services and gaming.
"Having a well-respected QSR franchisee like BCorporation introduce Krispy Kreme in Malaysia is an exciting opportunity," said Jeff Welch, senior vice-president and general manager of global franchise operations and development for Krispy Kreme.
"BCorporation has significant franchise experience in Malaysia, and we look forward to working with them to share the one-of-a-kind Krispy Kreme experience with consumers there."
Krispy Kreme already is in 14 countries, including the US, Australia, Canada, Hong Kong and Qatar. Last month, Krispy Kreme announced plans to develop about 25 franchise locations in Turkey.
There are about 490 Krispy Kreme stores operating in the United States, Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Kuwait, Mexico, the Philippines, South Korea, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom.
The expansions come despite Krispy Kreme's financial struggles. The company reported its first profitable quarter in more than a year in June. The chain has faced allegations of former management misconduct, a nationwide trend towards healthier eating and bankruptcy filings by several franchisees.
