The founder of the company, along with his brother Lewis Rudolph had started working for his uncle, who had owned a general store in Kentucky, USA. The store used to sell a wide variety of goods, including doughnuts as well. In the year 1933, a secret recipe for yeast-raised doughnuts was developed. The secret recipe had come from a French chef. The founder of the company used to sell doughnuts mainly via bicycle only.

The company was made as a family business when it moved to Nashville, and therefore, other members of the family also started to join the company and help meet the company's demands as well. In the year 1937, the company founder had sold his interest in the business and thus opened a new doughnut shop as well, located in North Carolina, USA. This new shop used to sell the products directly to supermarkets and also individuals as well. Therefore, the company Krispy Kreme was formed. During the 1950s, the company had started to expand, and by the 1960s, the company was very well-known in the southeast part of the USA. In the year 1976, the company was taken over by Beatrice Foods of Chicago and was made a wholly owned subsidiary as well. A group of franchisees again had purchased the company back from Beatrice Foods in the year 1982. The company had begun another phase of rapid expansion in the 1990s, opening stores outside the southeastern USA where most of their stores were located. Then in the year 2001, the company had opened its first store outside the USA in Ontario, Canada. In the year 2000, the company had filed for its first IPO or Initial Public Offering and was transformed into a limited public entity by the year 2001. In the year 2016, JAB Beech - which was a German investment firm, had announced it made an offer to purchase the company for more than $1.3 billion.
