Krispy Kreme plants flag in Singapore

October 9, 2013

A year after signing an agreement with Star360 Group, Krispy Kreme is set to open its first shop in Singapore on Oct. 12. Southeast Asia retailer Andy Chaw is the owner/operator of Star360 Group.

The initial 1,200-square-foot shop is located in Singapore's Tangs Orchard Basement 1. It is the first of 15 stores expected to open in Singapore under the Star360 Group.

"Star360 Group has been a staple in the premium lifestyle market in Singapore and Southeast Asia for over 20 years," said Jeff Welch, Krispy Kreme president, International. "We are excited to introduce Krispy Kreme's one-of-a-kind products and experiences to Singaporeans with partners who possess an unwavering passion for the brand, have a proven record of success, and share a commitment to providing superior customer service."

The new Krispy Kreme Singapore store will offer the brand's signature doughnuts and coffee. It will be open daily from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m.

"Singapore is a food-loving nation, and I'm certain that having Krispy Kreme's melt-in-your-mouth hot Original Glazed doughnuts from our new store's Doughnut Theatre will be like nothing Singaporeans have ever experienced," Chaw said.
