KRISPY KREME REPORTS OPERATING AND NET INCOME FOR THE FIRST
QUARTER OF FISCAL 2010

Winston-Salem, NC – June 4, 2009 – Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Inc. (NYSE: KKD) (the “Company”) today reported financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2010, ended May 3, 2009.

First Quarter Highlights:

“We continue to make progress in executing our strategic plans,” said Jim Morgan, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our operating profit improved from the first quarter of last year despite the effects of $2.4 million of lease termination costs in this year’s quarter, and we reported a bottom line profit of $1.9 million despite those charges and $1.1 million of charges related to amendments to our secured credit facilities. While we are pleased with the improvement in our operating results for the quarter, we are not satisfied with them, and we remain focused on rebuilding the Company for the long term.” First quarter accomplishments include:

In addition, we have devoted increased attention to marketing in preparation for the traditionally slower summer months, which are now upon us. We are focusing on our mini doughnuts, iced beverages and Kool Kreme soft serve product with its complementary fresh fruit bar.

1

During the quarter, we prepaid $20 million of principal on our term loan, reducing its balance to $54 million. Even after this significant use of cash for debt reduction, we finished the quarter with $21 million of cash and $9 million of unused revolving credit. As previously announced, we reached an agreement with our lenders on amendments to our credit facilities that should enable us to remain in compliance with the agreements and enable these facilities to continue to provide backup sources of liquidity.

“Our employees have been the key to the results we have achieved so far,” Morgan concluded. “While much remains to be done, our entire Krispy Kreme team is highly focused on executing our strategies, and we look forward to seeing the benefits of these strategies more fully reflected in our financial results in the years ahead.”

Management will host a conference call to review first quarter results this afternoon at 4:30 p.m. (ET). A live webcast of the conference call will be available at www.KrispyKreme.com .

(1)      Systemwide sales, a non-GAAP financial measure, include the sales by both Company and franchise stores. The Company believes systemwide sales data are useful in assessing the overall performance of the Krispy Kreme brand and, ultimately, the performance of the Company.
(2) Computed on a pro forma basis assuming the average rate of exchange between the U.S. dollar and each of the foreign currencies in which the Company’s international franchisees conducts business had been the same in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 as in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.
(3) Represents, on a Company and systemwide basis, total sales of all stores divided by the number of operating weeks for both factory and satellite stores.
(4) Represents, on a Company and systemwide basis, the aggregate number of weeks in a period that both factory and satellite stores were in operation.
(5) The change in “same store sales” represents the aggregate on-premises sales (including fundraising sales) during the current year period for all stores which had been open for more than 56 consecutive weeks during the current year period (but only to the extent such sales occurred in the 57 th or later week of each store’s operation) divided by the aggregate on-premises sales of such stores for the comparable weeks in the preceding year period. Once a store has been open for at least 57 consecutive weeks, its sales are included in the computation of same stores sales for all subsequent periods. In the event a store is closed temporarily (for example, for remodeling) and has no sales during one or more weeks, such store’s sales for the comparable weeks during the earlier or subsequent period are excluded from the same store sales computation.
(6) For Company off-premises sales, “average weekly number of doors” represents the average number of customer locations to which product deliveries are made during a week by Company Stores, and “average weekly sales per door” represents the average weekly sales to each such location by Company Stores.
