According to the lawsuit, during the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that:
- demand for Krispy Kreme products declined materially at McDonald’s locations after the initial marketing launch;
- demand at McDonald’s locations was a driver of declining average sales per door per week;
- the partnership with McDonald’s was not profitable;
- the foregoing posed a substantial risk to maintaining the partnership with McDonald’s;
- as a result, Krispy Kreme would pause expansion into new McDonald’s locations; and
- as a result of the foregoing, defendants’ positive statements about Krispy Kreme’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
