Dolly Parton secures sweet new deal with Krispy Kreme

Krispy Kreme has teamed up with global superstar, Dolly Parton on a new doughnut collection, offering a ‘lil’ somethin’ sweet for everyone’.

There are four doughnuts in the new Dolly Southern Sweets Doughnut Collection – Dolly Dazzler Doughnut, Peachy Keen Cobbler Doughnut, Banana Puddin’ Pie and Chocolate Créme Pie – which come in a limited edition custom Dolly Parton dozens box.

“Having some of my very favourite southern flavours in one, unique doughnut collection from Krispy Kreme is so special to me,” commented Dolly. “These doughnuts remind me of home. So, I’m excited for folks to share them with their own family and friends. They’re pretty sweet, if I do say so myself.”

To help celebrate the launch of the collection, Krispy Kreme is inviting everyone to get ‘Dolly’d up’ and visit stores (in the US) on Saturday 18 May. Anyone decked out Dolly style will receive a free Original Glazed Doughnut. Fans not dressed up can still receive a free doughnut by singing a favourite Dolly song.

“Krispy Kreme and Dolly Parton have a special thing in common – we both love to share joy,” commented Dave Skena, global chief brand officer at Krispy Kreme. “It was a joy – and an honour – to collaborate with Dolly to create her signature doughnut collection. These doughnuts are going to dazzle and delight fans just like Dolly herself.”
