EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Krispy Kreme envisions itself to become one of the worlds best and well-known doughnut companies. To reach
this, they have to capitalize on their key strengths to combat the changes in the macroenvironment. Competition
in the industry is fierce with dominating players and their ability to respond to the growth opportunity in the
international scene. The U.S. market is also rapidly trending toward healthier food products which Krispy Kreme
does not currently offer.
For the past years, they have been incurring net losses despite their turnaround strategy. Total revenues for the
company stores and supply chain have been decreasing since 2005. Because they failed to update their
Uniform Franchise Offering Circular, they are suffering from opportunity losses in domestic franchisees. Their
current production capacity is also underutilized because of a larger number of factory stores over satellite
stores.
After the internal and external factor evaluation, its best move is to hold and maintain. This will be achieved by
implementing the market penetration strategy which focuses on aggressive marketing and increasing
franchisees in the existing markets. This is the best strategy because it entails the least cost for Krispy Kreme
and they can utilize their current resources for implementation. However, in this fast-growing industry and fierce
competition, they may be left behind. The company will utilize a mix of 25% debt and 75% equity.
The generic strategy of the firm is Focused Best-Value provider. This will encompass the market penetration
strategy for a fully-effective implementation.

SITUATION ANALYSIS
Internal Environment Analysis
A total IFE score of 2.77 indicates that Krispy Kreme is relatively internally strong with significant competitive
strengths that can be used to address its response ability to the changes in the external environment. Their
doughnut-making equipment and process which give them a large capacity to produce doughnuts is one of their
distinctive competencies, along with their one-of-a-kind taste, special flavor offerings for certain seasons, and a
unique franchise program. Customers can also enjoy watching the entire doughnut-making process through
their store theaters. As core competencies, Krispy Kreme offers a variety of doughnuts and beverages to go
with them. Also, they have access to many different distribution channels in both domestic and international
markets. However, Krispy Kreme has not succeeded in their turnaround strategy where they failed to generate
income and a positive return on equity (ROE).
Financial Analysis
From the computation of Krispy Kremes ratios, they are performing relatively well mainly because of their
massive cost-cutting. However, they are still unable to reach optimal financial performance because of failure to
attain positive figures.
Krispy Kremes current ratio increased from 95.52% in 2006 to 97.74% in 2007. Their quick ratio also increased
from 68.24% to 78.34% in 2007. This shows that they are able to cover their short-term debts and obligations
with the use of their liquid assets such as cash. This is also supported by the decrease of 15% and 10%
respectively, in their short-term and long-term debts from 2005 to 2007. However, another important note is that
Krispy Kreme had an increasing amount of cash from 2005 to 2007 that is not proportionate to their decreasing
total revenues. This shows that they are tying up so much cash in working capital.
Krsipy Kremes inventories have decreased 8% from 2005 to 2007, showing that they have been saving on
storage costs for doughnuts. However, they are not able to sell these quickly as shown in the decrease of their
inventory turnover from 27 days to 32 days in inventory. This may be the cause of the companys decision to
increase its cash in working capital because inventories are not moving quickly. Fixed asset turnover increased
from 2.11 times to 2.46 times in 2007 which means they are utilizing their fixed assets effectively to generate
sales. This is also the result of closing poor performing stores. Total asset turnover remained relatively the same
at 1.21 times. This can be improved when sales are increasing and when some underutilized assets are
disposed, or both actions are done.
Their debt ratio has increased from 73.55% in 2006 to 77.41% in 2007. Although potential creditors do not
prefer high debt ratios, stockholders want more leverage from debt because it increases expected earnings.
Times-interest-earned ratio has increased to -0.98 times which shows that the company has now more
capability to pay its annual interest charges. However, it still needs to improve this performance to achieve a
positive figure; otherwise, Krispy Kreme will face difficulties when it decides to borrow additional funds in the
future.
Their gross profit margin has increased to 15.77% from 12.66% in 2006, and their basic earning power also
went up to -4.30% which is a significant increase from -21.38% in 2006. Net profit margin has also increased to
-8.98% wherein the companys net income became less negative. These significant improvements are mainly
the results of their effective cost-cutting practices as shown in the 84.43% decrease in their cost of revenues
from 2005 to 2007. The companys return on assets also increased from -29.50% to -10.89%. The bottom-line
ratio, return on equity, significantly increased from -75.18% to -44.12% which can be a result of their cost-cutting
and debt leverage.

Value Chain Analysis
On the primary activities of the value chain, Krispy Kreme has notable considerations in their operations,
specifically production and store count, and in marketing and sales.
Their current production capacity is at 4,000 to 10,000 dozens daily per factory store. Although factory stores
are reducing in number since fiscal 2005, the increase in satellite stores is not yet enough to take advantage of
this production. Factory stores still comprise 74.9% of the total number of stores systemwide. It is good to note
that satellite stores by area developers increased to 286.4% from 2005 because not only can the company save
itself from the development and operations costs, but also area developers are contractually required to develop
a certain number of stores. Similar in the international scene, there has been an increasing number of area
developers which can offer the company better results and more stores to operate.
As for the secondary activities, the general management of Krispy Kreme is relatively efficient. Their structure
complements their strategy with different executive heads for each important function. However, issues in the
human resources department may have been one of the number of factors that caused the failure of their
turnaround strategy. Employees may still have been demoralized after the recent layoff of employees by 31.8%
and the retirement savings dispute back in 2005. Employer brand image may have decreased significantly.
One of their distinctive competencies is their automated doughnut-making equipment which gives them the
capacity to produce up to 10,000 dozens daily. This technological innovation has given them the opportunity for
notable economies of scale.
General Environment
The socio-cultural changes in Krispy Kremes international environment contribute a better capability to increase
ROE than the domestic environment. The availability of favorable foreign countries allows the company to
decrease its marketing costs because of acceptability and increase its revenues because of their love for
sweets. However, they will encounter problems in succeeding in the European market, especially in Britain,
because of cultural differences. The domestic market is now becoming relatively unfavorable because of the
growing trend for healthier food choices.
Demographics in the U.S. show that the number of working Americans are increasing thus, it gives rise to the
number of people eating out. Nonetheless, this market is shifting toward healthier choices with the rate of
overweight and potential obesity, and the preference for casual dining. This change can lower the companys
ROE because of decreasing revenues. The global market is now intensified with the global presence of a
growing number of fast-food companies which lowers the companys ability to generate better-than-average
ROE.

Group 2
Only the economic trends are in favor of Krispy Kreme. Not only is the industrys stock performance improving
but also the food product price inflation is leading to an increase in ROI.
Industry Environment
The doughnut industry is currently highly unattractive in general. The competition among firms is fierce with a
few dominating players who are playing in a slow-growing industry. Plus, because of the nature of its product,
storage costs are significantly high which increases the fierceness of competition. These players are also
considering entering the international market which is now getting crowded with many participants. In addition,
end consumers have low switching costs since they can choose from many brands but still get the same
product doughnut. Also, there is a growing trend of substitutes to snack products as the U.S. market poses a
trend toward healthy choices and the British, among others, are accustomed to their own choices.
The industry remains unattractive in the next 3-5 years. Once the domestic market hits its saturation point, the
players will be more aggressive to stay in the industry to protect their market share. Plus, there will be a surge in
the number of companies competing in the international market. Low-calorie and low-sugar substitutes will also
be strongly marketed and preferred as the need for healthier products increase. With this trend, calorie-packed
doughnuts will be forced to go out of business or shift to developing healthy foods.
Competitive Environment
Dunkin Donuts is the leader among the four dominating players in the doughnut market while Krispy Kreme
comes in third. In terms of U.S. presence, Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks rank first with thousands of stores
across the country. Krispy Kreme and Tim Hortons only have approximately 200 to 300. Krispy Kreme also has
the lowest variety of product offerings compared to the other three because they only sell doughnuts and
beverages while Dunkin Donuts and Tim Hortons offer breakfast and lunch choices, respectively. Tim Hortons is
rated the weakest in global presence as they are only crowding one area which is Canada. Krispy Kreme,
compared to Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks, has a significantly lower number of stores as the two giants have
thousands in different foreign countries.
STRATEGY FORMULATION
The chosen generic strategy is Focused Strategy with Best Value. With this generic strategy, the following are
several alternatives for Krispy Kreme.
Alternative # 1: Market Penetration focusing on increased market share through greater marketing effort and
opening of satellite stores in current geographical areas
The main source of Krispy Kremes advantage is their distinctive product that invited generations of loyal
customers for its one-of-a-kind taste and its special flavor offerings. Considering their financial status, stability
would be an intensive strategy for Krispy Kreme since they are incurring net losses for the past several years.
Marketing efforts would allow the product to be pushed to the market aggressively. Moreover, more stores will
be opened in their existing domestic and international areas. With the increasing food product price inflation in
the U.S., development costs are being pulled down to improve return on investment. Also, there is an increasing
number of two-income households that increases doughnut consumption. The international market, especially
Asia and the Middle East, also poses a great opportunity because they are both fond of sweet snacks and
openness to Western brands which is what Krispy Kreme is.
11/24/2016 17:4512
Page | 5
Group 2
The drawback with this alternative is that competitors are fast growing and becoming rapidly global in scope.
Krispy Kreme might be left behind since greater opportunity for further growth and profitability are seen in the
untapped international market.
For this alternative, Krispy Kreme should invite more franchisees to increase its satellite stores in both of its
current domestic and international markets. They must update their UFOC regularly to attract these franchisees
in the U.S. market. Since they already have future stores opening from their development agreement with six
countries mainly found in Asia, they can easily push these area developers to open more satellite stores than
factory stores. This strategy provides KKD to have a major competitive advantage among others through
increasing economies of scale. It takes advantage of the present capacity of the Krispy Kreme factories of 4,000
to 10,000 dozens daily, which can be sold at numerous satellite stores. Intensive advertising and strong
marketing campaigns to its existing markets, especially in the unsaturated international market, will give the
product the exposure it needs. This will be a defensive strategy toward the U.S. casual dining sector which is
growing more rapidly than the quick-service industry. This would later on relate to a significant increase in
market share and total revenues once effectively implemented.
Alternative # 2: Product Development in the U.S. market, creating a healthier doughnut line
With the improving stock prices in the quick-service industry, Krispy Kreme can better serve the U.S. market by
providing a new, healthier doughnut menu. The U.S. market is also moving toward healthy food choices. With
lower calorie content of Dunkin Donuts, Krispy Kreme needs to reduce their calorie content to match or beat its
major competitor. They can also increase the variety of their current doughnuts. Through this, Krispy Kreme
doughnuts will be comparable with Dunkin Donuts and consumers will be forced to think twice on which brand
is of more value.
The main drawback for this alternative is the high cost to be incurred on the research and testing of the
appropriate mix and the new taste of the product. Moreover, the company will face more costs in changing the
process of doughnut-making and introducing this concept to their employees who might resist this change.
With their existing presence in the domestic market where they have thousands of retail outlets including offpremise channels, it will be much easier for Krispy Kreme to introduce and sell this new line. Moreover, Krispy
Kreme already has a vertically integrated structure. Thus, they do not need to create another supply chain for
this new line.
Alternative # 3: Related Diversification focusing on adding new food products such as sandwiches, bagels,
lunches, and more beverages
As the casual-dining sector is gaining share from fast-food chains, it has posed a threat to Krispy Kreme. The
doughnut company should opt to diversify their product offerings. They can add new related products such as
sandwiches, bagels, lunches, and more beverages to their menu as what their competitors Dunkin Donuts and
Tim Hortons are doing.
Krispy Kreme has made a name in the doughnut industry and they could use this to their advantage where loyal
customers no longer need to go to other restaurants. At the same time, Krispy Kreme can attract more
customers with their diversified menu. These new products can significantly improve the sales performance of
the company.
The drawback of this alternative is that Krispy Kreme would have to exert more effort to effectively market this
new menu. Training cost for employees is also very high because they will have to orient them to the diversified
menu. They also have to hire professionals who will recommend the products and recipes to prepare. There is
also a small possibility of cannibalization where they may lose their image as a doughnut company.
11/24/2016 17:4512

Group 2
Alternative # 4: Market Development in the international market focused on introducing present products into
new geographical areas
This alternative is developed from the opportunities in the international scene. As their U.S. market is going
toward the saturation point, Krispy Kreme will face difficulties in achieving growth relative to their competitors.
The existence and demand from the international markets, especially in Asia, gives the company the growth
opportunity it needs. They are currently serving 10 foreign countries, five of which are in Asia. Therefore, there
are still many untapped geographical markets that may lead to increased market share and revenues. The total
capacity of their production will be fully utilized once they open new factory stores and a proportionate number
of satellite stores in untapped countries.
Through market development, the company will be able to introduce their one-of-a-kind doughnut to new
markets specifically those areas where they have not entered yet. UK, Germany, and Spain are also favorable
markets that can offer growth and profitability to the company. Countries such as China are favorable in terms of
its population and fondness of sweets. Not only sales will increase with their population, but exposure and
market share will also go up. High-income countries such as Singapore will also be a favorable market because
people have the financial capacity to spend on products such as snack foods.
The major drawback of this alternative is the high expenses to be incurred for expansion. There will be
significant costs for marketing, licensing, and building new stores in totally new geographical areas, to name a
few. Given the companys current financial position, the company will have many challenges and difficulties in
getting the funds for implementing the strategy. With their increasing debt-to-asset ratio, they are not very
attractive to creditors. Moreover, the risk is high because of the differing economic conditions of the countries to
be tapped.
STRATEGY EVALUATION
Due to consistent losses that KKD had incurred for the past three years, the company is placed in a weak
financial position. With that, a rating of one is given to alternative four since entering a new market will require
higher investment. On the other hand, a rating of four is given to alternative one since marketing the same
product to the existing markets would not be that costly relative to the other alternatives. Alternative two is rated
as three because cost would be incurred for research and development. While alternative three is rated as two
because aside from research and development, training would also be given to employees in order to produce
such new products entailing additional cost.
For the feasibility of human resource, alternative one is rated as four since KKD would not require much hiring
and training of new employees and they could readily utilize their existing human resource. Alternative four is
rated as three because KKD has already gone through different processes required to enter a new market.
Alternative two is given a rating of two since KKD would need a professional to make the new product menu.
Alternative three is rated as one because the current human resource has no experience yet of producing and
selling the new products.
For technology feasibility, Alternative one is rated as five because they no longer need to acquire new
technology to implement the strategy. Alternative four is given a four because KKD has the existing technology
to enter new markets. Alternative two and three is rated as one because this would require additional
technology to produce the new products.
In terms of long-term profitability, Alternative three and four has the highest rating since it has the best potential
for maximizing returns in a fast-growing industry. Also, having a diverse product offering would generate more
revenues for the company. While Alternative one and two is rated as three since these alternatives may only be
good for a specific period of time. Intense marketing efforts may not necessarily mean long-term sales growth
and developing a new product in the domestic market would not maximize their returns in the future because

Group 2
they are known for selling sweet doughnuts. Moreover, these alternatives cut their potential for growth since
they are tied up with their existing market knowing the greater potential in the international market.
In terms of competitive advantage, alternative one ranks the highest since it uses their existing competence in
providing doughnuts with one-of-a-kind taste. Alternative four is rated as four since the culture and taste
preference of new geographic markets may not match the products they offer. Alternative two and three is rated
as one because it would not capitalize on their competitive advantage.
Alternative two and four is rated three to consonance or response ability. This is due to the growing number of
health-conscious individuals which alternative two can address and the fast-growing doughnut industry for
alternative four. On the other hand, alternative one and three is rated as two because both alternatives do not
directly respond to the changes in the environment.
In terms of consistency, Alternative four has the highest rating which is four because it is in line with Krispy
Kremes vision. This alternative is a stepping stone for Krispy Kreme to reach its vision while upholding its
mission. Alternative two has been rated as four because even if it is just for the domestic market, it is still in line
with the companys mission. Alternative one has been rated three because it still upholds its mission in
producing distinctive doughnuts but its scope is not that large to be one of the worlds best and well-known
doughnut makers. Alternative three is rated as two since this alternative does not focus on the core product that
KKD offers.
STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION
To support the activities in Alternative 1, Krispy Kreme will utilize 25% debt and 75% equity. The company shall
undertake the following actions to improve its over-all performance:

to everyone else in a few steps, and the rest of us are linked to the world through those special few
(Gladwell, 2000). Word of mouth will help significantly increase the number of customer visits and
repeat transactions.
Krispy Kreme can boost customer experience and satisfaction by providing free newspapers,
magazines, and other reading materials to dining customers. They will also introduce mobile feedback
systems where customers can send their feedbacks, comments, and suggestions through their mobile
phone or event through telephone. This can provide convenience to the customers since they do not
have to spend time filling up forms and can also benefit the company with cost savings for printing
papers.
Moreover, employing team building activities at least once a year for employees will help boost their
morale and at the same time, update their employees with the current business processes and
policies. The employees are considered to be the first customer circle of the company; therefore, once
the inner circle is improved and empowered, they can easily create and strengthen relationships with
end consumers the outer circle. This will make all customers employees and end consumers feel
that they are being valued by the company and can spread a great experience that other doughnut
companies could not provide.
Sponsorship of events
KKD will sponsor events especially those that are related to their target market such as parties and
launchings. This will enhance the companys exposure to reach a larger customer base thus increasing
total revenues. In addition, Krispy Kreme will also co-sponsor events with businesses that are rapidly
growing. This way, they can share the costs of pushing their products and at the same time, they will
be able to use the partner companys image to increase Krispy Kremes own image.
Using e-commerce to increase brand popularity and possibly increase Market Share
The company can gain more sales and popularity through venturing into internet marketing and selling.
They can use the power of e-commerce which is available anytime, anywhere and removes
geographical boundaries to reach a significant number of customers at very low cost and shortest time.
Krispy Kreme can create a website that advertises and sells their products online to be done through
automatic and free membership registration. The company will aim to acquire memberships of at least
10% of each area population in the U.S. and in foreign countries. Members with bulk orders who are
located within an estimated kilometer radius can enjoy free delivery. Otherwise, they can simply order
online and pick their orders up at the nearest stores without the hassle of lining up, waiting for orders,
and the possibility of stock-outs for their favorite flavors. With this convenience, more people are being
pulled to Krispy Kreme.
To attain this, Krispy Kreme will have the web design and web development outsourced to attain
greater value (benefit over cost). But they will still have to train their staff and crew in using computer
software and tools to access and manage this online venture within two months prior to the launching
of the website.
