Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Description of Business Krispy Kreme, Inc. (“KKI”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Krispy Kreme”) operate through their omni-channel business model to provide doughnut experiences and produce doughnuts for Doughnut Shops, Delivered Fresh Daily (“DFD”) outlets, Ecommerce and delivery, and Krispy Kreme branded sweet treats (“Branded Sweet Treat Line”) channels, expanding consumer access to the Krispy Kreme brand. The Company has three reportable operating segments: 1) U.S. and Canada, which includes all Krispy Kreme Company-owned operations in the U.S. and Canada, Insomnia Cookies shops and the Branded Sweet Treat Line; 2) International, which includes all Krispy Kreme Company-owned operations in the U.K., Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and Mexico; and 3) Market Development, which includes worldwide franchise operations, as well as Krispy Kreme Company-owned shops in Japan. Unallocated corporate costs are excluded from the Company’s measurement of segment performance. Basis of Presentation and Consolidation The Company operates and reports financial information on a 52 or 53-week year with the fiscal year ending on the Sunday closest to December 31. The data periods contained within fiscal years 2021 and 2022 reflect the results of operations for the 52-week periods ended January 2, 2022 and January 1, 2023, respectively. The quarters ended July 3, 2022 and July 4, 2021 were both 13-week periods. The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of KKI and subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required under GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of results of operations, balance sheet, cash flows, and shareholders’ equity for the periods presented. All significant intercompany balances and transactions among KKI and subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in entities over which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence but which it does not control and whose financial statements are not otherwise required to be consolidated, are accounted for using the equity method. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended January 2, 2022, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 2, 2022 was derived from audited annual financial statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements. The results of operations for the quarter and two quarters ended July 3, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be achieved for the entire fiscal year ending January 1, 2023. Noncontrolling interest in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements represents the interest in subsidiaries held by joint venture partners and employee shareholders. The joint venture partners hold noncontrolling interests in the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries, Awesome Doughnut, LLC (“Awesome Doughnut”), W.K.S. Krispy Kreme, LLC (“WKS Krispy Kreme”), and Krispy K Canada, Inc. (“KK Canada”). Employee shareholders hold noncontrolling interests in the consolidated subsidiaries Krispy Kreme Holding U.K. Ltd. (“KKUK”), Krispy Kreme Holdings Pty Ltd. (“KK Australia”), Krispy Kreme Mexico S. de R.L. de C.V. (“KK Mexico”) and Insomnia Cookies Holdings, LLC (“Insomnia Cookies”). Since the Company consolidates the financial statements of these subsidiaries, the noncontrolling owners’ share of each subsidiary’s net assets and results of operations are deducted and reported as noncontrolling interest on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and as net income attributable to noncontrolling interest in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and comprehensive income attributable to noncontrolling interest in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income/(Loss). Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1, “Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended January 2, 2022 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies during the quarter ended July 3, 2022.

It is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. A company may elect to apply the amendments for contract modifications as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Instruments	Derivative Instruments Commodity Price Risk The Company uses forward contracts to protect against the effects of commodity price fluctuations in the cost of ingredients of its products, of which flour, sugar and shortening are the most significant, and the cost of gasoline used by its delivery vehicles. Management has not designated these forward contracts as hedges. As of both July 3, 2022 and January 2, 2022, the total notional amount of commodity derivatives was 1.9 million gallons of gasoline. They were scheduled to mature between July 4, 2022 and December 1, 2023 and January 3, 2022 and March 31, 2023, respectively. As of July 3, 2022 and January 2, 2022, the Company recorded an asset of $2.2 million and $1.5 million, respectively, related to the fair market values of its commodity derivatives. The settlement of commodity derivative contracts is reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as a cash flow from operating activities. Interest Rate Risk The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to interest rate volatility from its debt arrangements. Management has designated the swap agreements as cash flow hedges and recognized the changes in the fair value of these swaps in other comprehensive income. As of July 3, 2022 and January 2, 2022, the Company has recorded assets of $8.1 million and liabilities of $14.7 million, respectively, related to the fair market values of its interest rate derivatives. The cash flows associated with the interest rate swaps are reflected in operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, which is consistent with the classification as operating activities of the interest payments on the term loan. Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk primarily from its investments in consolidated subsidiaries that operate in Canada, the U.K., Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico and Japan. In order to mitigate the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations on commercial and financial transactions with these subsidiaries, the Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts. Management has not designated these forward contracts as hedges. As of July 3, 2022 and January 2, 2022, the total notional amount of foreign exchange derivatives was $54.1 million and $51.8 million, respectively. They were scheduled to mature in July 2022 and between January 2022 and February 2022, respectively. The Company recorded a liability of $0.3 million and $0.1 million as of July 3, 2022 and January 2, 2022, respectively, related to the fair market values of its foreign exchange derivatives.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes For interim tax reporting, the Company estimates a worldwide annual effective tax rate and applies that rate to the year-to-date ordinary income/(loss). The tax effects of significant unusual or infrequently occurring items are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate calculation and recognized in the interim period in which they occur. The Company’s effective income tax rates were (188.73)% and 57.02% for the quarter and two quarters ended July 3, 2022, respectively, and (195.60)% and (222.58)% for the quarter and two quarters ended July 4, 2021, respectively. The Company’s effective income tax rate for the quarter and two quarters ended July 3, 2022 differed from the respective statutory rates primarily due to disallowed executive compensation expense, the mix of income and taxes attributable to foreign jurisdictions, the recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits, and a discrete tax benefit related to a legal accrual discussed in Note 10 , Commitments and Contingencies. The Company’s effective income tax rate for the quarter and two quarters ended July 4, 2021 differed from the respective statutory rates primarily due to the revaluation of U.K. deferred taxes as a result of the increase in the corporate tax rate from 19.0% to 25.0% beginning in 2023 and disallowed executive compensation in connection with the IPO.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	The Company operates and reports financial information on a 52 or 53-week year with the fiscal year ending on the Sunday closest to December 31. The data periods contained within fiscal years 2021 and 2022 reflect the results of operations for the 52-week periods ended January 2, 2022 and January 1, 2023, respectively. The quarters ended July 3, 2022 and July 4, 2021 were both 13-week periods.The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of KKI and subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required under GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of results of operations, balance sheet, cash flows, and shareholders’ equity for the periods presented. All significant intercompany balances and transactions among KKI and subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in entities over which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence but which it does not control and whose financial statements are not otherwise required to be consolidated, are accounted for using the equity method.
Consolidation	These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended January 2, 2022, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 2, 2022 was derived from audited annual financial statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements. The results of operations for the quarter and two quarters ended July 3, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be achieved for the entire fiscal year ending January 1, 2023. Noncontrolling interest in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements represents the interest in subsidiaries held by joint venture partners and employee shareholders. The joint venture partners hold noncontrolling interests in the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries, Awesome Doughnut, LLC (“Awesome Doughnut”), W.K.S. Krispy Kreme, LLC (“WKS Krispy Kreme”), and Krispy K Canada, Inc. (“KK Canada”). Employee shareholders hold noncontrolling interests in the consolidated subsidiaries Krispy Kreme Holding U.K. Ltd. (“KKUK”), Krispy Kreme Holdings Pty Ltd. (“KK Australia”), Krispy Kreme Mexico S. de R.L. de C.V. (“KK Mexico”) and Insomnia Cookies Holdings, LLC (“Insomnia Cookies”). Since the Company consolidates the financial statements of these subsidiaries, the noncontrolling owners’ share of each subsidiary’s net assets and results of operations are deducted and reported as noncontrolling interest on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and as net income attributable to noncontrolling interest in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and comprehensive income attributable to noncontrolling interest in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income/(Loss).
