Krispy Kreme South Africa’s 10th birthday marks a decade of growth, innovation, and commitment to spreading joy through fresh doughnuts.
We’re celebrating an incredible milestone as Krispy Kreme South Africa marks its 10th anniversary on 25 November.
What began on 25 November 2015 with the opening of the very first store at The Zone @ Rosebank has grown into one of the country’s most loved sweet-treat brands.

Over the past decade, Krispy Kreme South Africa has proudly aligned with the global brand’s mission to “always touch and enhance lives through the joy of Krispy Kreme,” while remaining uniquely and proudly South African at its core.
What started as a bold move by a local team bringing a global name into a South African market has grown into more than 90 shops nationwide, alongside hundreds of mini locations and daily deliveries of fresh, pre-packaged doughnuts to major retailers—bringing the joy of Krispy Kreme to even more communities, occasions, and celebrations.

For ten years, South Africans have enjoyed doughnuts made and delivered fresh every day.
This growth has been underpinned by the creation of more than 800 jobs across the country, a commitment to community upliftment through ongoing support of charitable organisations, and a focus on environmental responsibility as a conscientious corporate citizen.
Krispy Kreme South Africa has consistently pushed boundaries through innovation and creative collaborations that tap into local tastes, trends, and cultural moments.
From memorable seasonal ranges to viral hits like the “Doughbai” doughnut—South Africa’s first introduction to Dubai-style chocolate culture—the brand continues to shape how South Africans enjoy sweet treats and has earned recognition as the country’s #1 sweet-treat retail brand.

Guided by a strong value system that influences its culture, customer experience, and long-term vision, Krispy Kreme South Africa enters its next decade poised for even greater impact. The brand remains committed to delivering magic moments, one doughnut at a time.
So here’s to 10 years of joy, innovation, community, and—of course—doughnuts.
Happy 10th Birthday, Krispy Kreme South Africa!
