All of Krispy Kreme&#8217;s 824 international locations are run by franchisees. The fourth quarter for the brand ended on January 31 and company-operated stores reported same-store sales growth of 0.2 percent, while franchisee same-store sales were up 2.5 percent, during that same time period.</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span style="">The brand is implementing a number of new initiatives to help franchise operators build more profitability and generate higher sales for units. To do this, the brand will lower costs for construction, site location and equipment for new stores. <a href="http://nrn.com/franchising/krispy-kreme-looks-expand-franchising?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=krispy-kreme-to-focus-more-on-franchising-4107" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Nation&#8217;s Restaurant News reported</a> the brand will also be looking to improve the flow of stores to help make the customer ordering process smoother, thus helping boost revenue. Thompson went on to say the entire company needs to embrace the focus on franchising in order to make it work.</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span style="">&#8220;We will begin a cultural change inside our organization domestically to become more franchise-support focused,&#8221; Thompson said. &#8220;This is an area we need to be not merely good, but great.&#8221;</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span style=""><a href="http://nrn.com/franchising/krispy-kreme-looks-expand-franchising?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=krispy-kreme-to-focus-more-on-franchising-4107" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Click here to read the original article</a>.</span></div>
