Krispy Kreme has signed a development agreement with Dulce Restaurants LLC, to develop 10 new shops in Houston throughout the next five years.

Dulce Restaurants LLC, a subsidiary of Dallas-based Sun Holdings LLC, currently operates three Krispy Kreme locations in Dallas, and has plans to open an additional 15 Dallas shops through 2018.

"Seeing the response and admiration for Krispy Kreme and our Original Glazed doughnuts in Dallas has been a rewarding experience for me and my team," said Guillermo Perales, president and CEO of Sun Holdings LLC. "With our plans to continue developing the Dallas market now finalized and underway, we are excited by the opportunity to expand our relationship with Krispy Kreme and to make our one-of-a-kind sweet treats available in Houston."

The new Houston shops will offer more than a dozen varieties of Krispy Kreme's doughnuts, including the signature hot Original Glazed, as well as a complete menu of coffee, Krispy Kreme Chillers, iced beverages and specialty drinks.

Krispy Kreme currently has more than 240 shops in the U.S., of which approximately 150 are franchised. Additionally, the company has more than 560 locations in 22 countries outside the U.S., all of which are franchised.
