Moscow is a big potential market for krispy kreme, says professor mike lord.
Reposted from Winston-Salem Journal | by Richard Craver
"To Russia with doughnuts" is the latest international venture for Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Inc.
The company said Monday that it has signed a franchisee deal with LLC Doughnuts Café to open 40 shops in Moscow over five years. LLC Doughnuts is owned by Arkady Novikov, owner of the Novikov Restaurant Group.
Jeff Welch, president of Krispy's international division, said in a statement the company is pleased to have gained a franchisee agreement with "someone so instrumental in the development of today's vibrant restaurant culture in Moscow."
"Arkady's great passion for the Krispy Kreme brand, combined with his strong organizational structure and years of successful restaurant experience in Moscow, are strong assets he can leverage."
Russia becomes the 21st country that Krispy Kreme has entered, but only the second in Europe after England. "We believe Krispy Kreme's premium products and one-of-a-kind experience will quickly become a favorite of Muscovites," Novikov said.
The biggest challenge for Krispy Kreme is how well "hot now" doughnuts will translate to Muscovite taste buds. Krispy Kreme officials could not be reached for comment about whether the company plans to include local flavors in its Moscow shops.
Although international franchise sales represented 6 percent of Krispy Kreme's revenue in its fourth quarter of 2012, which ended Jan. 29, its global expansion is a big part of its growth strategy.
In February 2011, Krispy Kreme said its goal was having close to 1,000 international shops by 2016.
The company ended fiscal 2012 with 602 franchise stores and 92 company stores, with international representing 460 franchise stores. It plans to add 75 international franchise stores during fiscal 2013.
The strategy could be pivotal because the jobs of its 3,900 employees, including 408 in Winston-Salem and an additional 102 elsewhere in the Triad, are riding on Krispy Kreme's ability to make its doughnuts a regular choice rather than an occasional treat in international markets.
Michael Lord, an associate professor of strategy and entrepreneurship at Wake Forest University, said Russia has been traditionally "a very difficult market for many companies to figure out, and to successfully operate in."
"Moscow is a big potential market," Lord said. "They should be able to get significant economies of scale in Moscow alone if things work out right. Anywhere else in Russia will be a bonus."
In the past nine months, Krispy Kreme has announced major expansions for England (35 planned new shops for a total of 80), Japan (73 planned new shops for a total of 94) and Mexico (58 planned new shops for a total of 128).

“We know our iconic doughnuts and coffee will add an extra touch of joy to Moroccan consumers and bolster our presence in this crucial market.”

Why are krispy kreme (dnut) shares soaring today, what happened:.
Shares of doughnut chain Krispy Kreme (NASDAQ:DNUT) jumped 14.8% in the morning session after the company reported second quarter earnings results. Krispy Kreme provided optimistic full-year revenue guidance, which blew past analysts' expectations. Its revenue also outperformed Wall Street's estimates. Given the strong topline performance indicating healthy near-term demand, the company announced plans to launch in Germany and Brazil. Management also noted that expansion in the U.S. market is accelerating in light of the recent partnership with McDonald's. On the other hand, its EPS missed, and its full-year earnings guidance fell short. Overall, this was a mixed but decent quarter for Krispy Kreme.

What is the market telling us:
Krispy Kreme's shares are not very volatile than the market average and over the last year have had only 14 moves greater than 5%. Moves this big are very rare for Krispy Kreme and that is indicating to us that this news had a significant impact on the market's perception of the business.
The biggest move we wrote about over the last year was 4 months ago, when the stock gained 36.5% after company announced in a press release that it would provide fresh doughnuts daily at McDonald's restaurants nationwide (in the United States). According to the report, the Phased rollout will begin in the second half of 2024, with nationwide availability expected by the end of 2026. This is positive news for Krispy Kreme as the move should accelerate its sales velocity and eventually be accretive to revenue growth given the power of the McDonald's brand.
Krispy Kreme is down 29.6% since the beginning of the year, and at $10.37 per share it is trading 40.2% below its 52-week high of $17.35 from March 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Krispy Kreme's shares at the IPO in June 2021 would now be looking at an investment worth $493.81.

US Inflation:
Krispy Kreme CFO Braces for Double-Digit Inflation in Key Costs
- CFO sees “mixed bag” for prices amid deflation in some items
- Company bought protection against commodity cost increases
Krispy Kreme Inc. said it’s expecting double-digit price increases in some of the ingredients for its doughnuts, highlighting the cost pressures facing US companies.
The company expects mid- to high-single digit inflation this year, Chief Financial Officer Jeremiah Ashukian said on a call Tuesday discussing its latest results. Price gains for commodities like sugar may exceed 20% while the increases for items such as cartons may be in the low double digits. California’s minimum wage increase may result in high single-digit or low double-digit labor inflation, Ashukian said.
