EG America has teamed up with Krispy Krunchy Chicken to open locations under several of its banners, primarily Cumberland Farms, the retailer said in a press release sent to NACS. The first five locations will launch inside Cumberland Farms stores across the Florida panhandle, beginning with the Santa Rosa Beach store, opening September 22, 2025.

In addition to the Santa Rosa Beach location, Krispy Krunchy plans to open locations with Cumberland Farms in Destin, Gulf Breeze, Navarre and Panama City, with more to be announced later this year. All Florida panhandle Krispy Krunchy sites are expected to open by the end of 2025, with further growth on the horizon in the Sunshine State and beyond, the retailer said.

“We’re excited to bring Krispy Krunchy Chicken and their highly craveable menu items to our North Florida locations,” said Brian Ferguson, chief marketing officer, EG America. “Cumberland Farms is a daily destination for millions thanks to our exceptional coffee, fast and friendly service and unmatched convenience. Partnering with Krispy Krunchy allows us to elevate the food experience even further by delivering the quality and flavor our customers want, right when they need it.”

“Our launch with Cumberland Farms in Florida is an important step for us, as it strengthens our presence in a key market and aligns Krispy Krunchy with one of the most recognized convenience store brands in the country,” said Jim Norberg, CEO of Krispy Krunchy Chicken. “We’re building tremendous momentum, now serving all 48 contiguous states, and this collaboration highlights the strength of our premium offerings and the kind of partnerships they continue to attract.”

Krispy Krunchy opened 605 stores in 2024. At the beginning of the year, the company projected it would exceed the previous year’s number for new stores in 2025, and was working on “accelerating its national expansion.”
