Australia
The Australian franchise agreement also covers New Zealand however currently there are no store locations there. On 29 October 2010 the Australian division went into voluntary administration, with media reports attributing this to poor sales.[1] As a result of this administration, several stores closed in early November 2010. As of December 2010, they have come out of Administration, and have continued trading with their remaining stores in the states of New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria. With hour long waits during the opening of their drive-through restaurants, and to this day, a free hot Original Glazed doughnut is offered to every customer making a purchase. The Australian chain has a strong fundraising program which has helped schools, workplaces, charities and non-profit organisations to raise over 10 million dollars to date. Also, unique to Australia[citation needed], is a range of ice creams. A number of Australian stores have also started selling a Bakery range, including sandwiches, croissants, muffins etc.[citation needed].New South Wales
Krispy Kreme first opened in Australia in 2003 in Penrith, 55 km west of Sydney, just off Mulgoa Road in the Penrith Panthers Football Club complex. It was the first store in the world outside the United States. The store also features a 24-hour drive-through service. Before opening they gave away 300,000 free doughnuts for publicity.Since then, 10 Krispy Kreme stores opened in NSW. They now have multiple stores inside Sydney Airport, as well as Krispy Kreme Mascot located at 7 Ross Smith Avenue, adjacent to the airport.
Queensland
Krispy Kreme has two stores in Brisbane; the Brisbane Airport and in the Myer Centre, although many mini-stores or 'carts' are in various service centres along major roads. The most recent Krispy Kreme outlet in Queensland opened at Pacific Fair, Broadbeach, on the Gold Coast. The stores are supplied by daily deliveries of doughnuts cooked at the commissary facility in Logan, south of Brisbane.Victoria
Six Krispy Kreme stores operate in Melbourne. The first store opened on 22 June 2006 at 6.30 am[2] in the suburb of Narre Warren at Fountain Gate Shopping Centre, and features a 24-hour drive-through service. Though most store-locations outside of Australia usually operate with a long schedule including both early mornings and late nights, the twenty-four hour operating model is unique to Sydney and Melbourne. The store is currently hugely popular amongst Melbournians, some of whom queued for several hours during the store's first few weeks running. The drive-through queue during this period was often over 500 metres long and has been controlled by hired security guards and Narre Warren police, who directed traffic and calmed customers. When the store first opened, people had waited for 3 days creating a drive through line over 2 kilometres long. The drive through line did not stop until about three weeks after the opening and the internal store was constantly forced to remove people from the building after closing hours[citation needed].Krispy Kreme opened its second Melbourne store in the Central Business District on Collins Street. The store opened on September 26, 2006. Unlike the Fountain Gate store, doughnuts are not produced on site, but rather delivered many times during the day from both Fountain Gate and Dandenong. The Fountain Gate store is the only manufacturing (or factory) location in Victoria. A third store opened at Melbourne Central (and second CBD store) opened at on December 7, 2006. Melbourne's newest stores have been opened at Melbourne Airport T1 (Qantas) & T3 (Virgin) along with at third CBD store located on busy Swanston Street.
