Business Operations
We generate revenues from three distinct sources. Company Stores.
Doughnut Sales
Store Layout/Design
Freestanding: Most free-standing Krispy Kreme stores are constructed with a long window between the customer area and the kitchen, allowing customers to watch the operation of the doughnutmaking machines. Smaller Stores: Most of the smaller stores get their donuts from other locations rather than producing them on-site.
Atmosphere: Very welcoming, with bright lighting. Seating is limited but available. Factory tends to pull curious customers inside.
Advertisement / Marketing
Free doughnut strategy Hot Now; free doughnut while waiting in line. TV ad campaign Gifts/Accessories shirts, sweatshirts, hats, boxers, coffee, mugs, toys. Fundraising helped schools raise over $30 million last year (selling doughnuts, coffee, certificates, and partnership cards).
Distinguishing Aspects
Store Layout: Factory inside the store where you can watch how the donuts are made. Reputation: Krispy Kreme has always been known as and has had a reputation of being the best. Hot Now: When the Hot Now sign outside the store is lit you can get hot and fresh original glazed donuts.

Situational Analysis
Environment The
Environmental analysis Internal factors
Strong
External
Increasing
factors
brand recognition and recall Wide appeal of signature glazed doughnuts Vertical integration Development in international markets Strong channel of distribution Quality of product Expanded assortment of offerings at KKD stores including beverages
popularity of coffee shops and bakery cafs Popularity of American foods and fashion in overseas markets Channel expansion possibilities (i.e., Internet pre-ordering) Competitors like Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks Low-carb trend in eating preferences
Organization Analysis
Strategy is
focused on revenue organizational structure In 2001, cash flow return on equity investment for franchises was at 91%, In 2003, the companys business strategy was to add enough new stores strategies do not appear to be capable of maintaining a competitive advantage July 2004 launching an inquiry into the companys accounting practices. December 2004, they announced still more accounting errors
Marketing Strategies
little
evidence of market research. Company spent very little on advertising. This strategy seems to still work well but would not be sufficient to generate continuing business New stores are opening, close to the older stores within the same market. Their training, facilities management and franchise management is good strength of kk.
integration supply chain. Short-shelf life products. Failure to do appropriate and effective market research
S.W.O.T Analysis
Strengths Affordable, high-quality doughnuts with strong visual appeal and "one-of-a-kind" taste Neon "Hot Doughnuts Now" sign encourages people outside the store to make an impulse purchase Market research shows appeal extends to all major demographic groups including age and income Hot shop" stores save money while keeping KKD customer experience intact
Strengths (cont)
Vertical
integration helps ensure high quality product Consistent expansion; now in 16 countries Product sold at thousands of supermarkets, convenience stores, and retail outlets through U.S.
Weaknesses Return on equity, assets, and investments all negative in the trailing twelve months; skill of mgmt. is questionable Shareholders have not received dividends recently, and are not expected to in near future; stock price in state of flux Closing stores when stores should be opening globally at steady rate to keep up with competitors' growth Management states in recent 10-K that it is struggling with how to make stores profitable
Weaknesses (cont)
Product line
slow to expand with nothing outside "sweet treats" to draw in health-conscious customers Advertising not aggressive enough to appeal to areas outside southeast of U.S. where most stores are Revenues down, net losses in each of past three years
the problem occurring in the management of the business and thus the fall in business and profitability to promote the doughnuts and to promote the customer based objectives and mission of the organization the market to really know what the customers want and then to develop the marketing and strategic policy in accordance to that.
Reaching
Opportunities (cont)
Asians
love sweets and are open to trying foreign foods Starbucks lacks a diversified and distinctive pastry line Dunkin' Donuts does not have hot doughnuts to sell Many children love sweet treats
Threats
Tough competition and increasing global recognition of
Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts. Global presence of the competitors More health conscious customer base Development of organic markets Starbucks has approximately 25 times the amount of stores worldwide that Krispy Kreme Donut has
Threats (cont)
Restricted
cash flow from banks and massive layoffs have stifled the world economy, decreasing discretionary income Europeans prefer their local brands of doughnuts Shareholders may sell KKD stock for lack of returns and dividends compared to other similar firms in the industry
I.F.E
E.F.E
C.P.M
(BCG)
the lack
of a cohesive marketing structure within or a strategic marketing plan for the organization. Flawed or absent marketing research has resulted in store closings and or expansions that were not backed up by market data or evidence that this investment would be feasible. The company spent very little on advertising depending largely on word of mouth, and local publicity.
As
a result, Krispy Kreme acquired a company in 2007 that by the end of fiscal year 2008, had lost $25 million dollars. The second problem is using a vertically integrated supply chain
Conclusion
The food industry has
been affected by a recent trend toward quick eating habits. Krispy Kreme has capitalized on this trend by positioning doughnuts as a popular, onthe-go food. Krispy Kremes success has hinged on consistency throughout its locations and by delivering a high quality product.Future growth opportunities include expanding franchises as well as penetrating alternate distribution channels. As Krispy Kreme analyzes potential growth opportunities within alternate distribution channels such as convenience stores and grocery chains, it must determine whether doing so will sacrifice brand equity and product quality.
It
is believe that Krispy Kreme can be successful in launching its product in new markets without establishing physical locations. Alternative channel distribution will help bring the Krispy Kreme product to millions of potential customers who have yet to experience the taste of Americas best doughnut.
