Partnering with McDonald’s offers Krispy Kreme a new “go-to-market strategy that seems to offer strong upside potential,” said marketing professor Roger Beahm. “This creates much greater access to the market virtually overnight. Consumers won’t need to go so far out of their way to reach a Krispy Kreme sales outlet. While the added convenience could cannibalize some of the Krispy Kreme factory store business, it will likely be more than offset by the incremental gains from the sale of products through McDonald’s restaurants.”

Miseducated: The awkward conversation
According to psychology professor Christy Buchanan, “One of the biggest pieces of advice for parents is to watch movies and shows with adolescents.
