Krispy Kreme will open 12 shops in Guatemala over the next four years through a development agreement it has signed with Pronto, Sociedad Anónima.
“The demand for Krispy Kreme continues to grow throughout Latin America, including Guatemala,” said Dan Beem, Krispy Kreme’s Senior Vice President and President – International.
“We’re excited to partner with Pedro Gonzalez-Teja and Gregorio Presa, owners of Pronto, Sociedad Anónima. They are experienced operators who are committed to excellence and delivering that iconic Krispy Kreme experience.”
Gonzalez-Teja said they are honored to be able to bring Krispy Kreme to Guatemala, and are excited to offer not only the brand’s signature sweet treats but a special Guatemalan coffee blend available only in that country.
“We can’t explain how excited we are to be new members of the Krispy Kreme family. We not only are huge fans of the doughnuts but we are huge fans of the brand,” he said.
“Guatemalans not only love sweets, they also love coffee. Guatemala is internationally recognized for its high-quality coffee and by creating a rich and delicious Guatemalan blend to go with a dozen Krispy Kreme doughnuts we can offer something that most sweets and coffee lovers can’t resist.”
Krispy Kreme has more than 1,000 shops in 24 countries.
