Founded in 1937 in the US, the UK operations began in 2003 when KKUK opened its first flagship store in Harrods, London before expanding to other cities across the UK including Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds and Edinburgh. The business now sells over 62 million doughnuts "made fresh daily" each year. At the time of Alcuin's investment in 2011, KKUK had 42 stores and 207 in-store cabinets. Under Alcuin's ownership KKUK grew to over 70 stores and over 690 in-store cabinets, with revenue, gross margin and profitability increasing substantially. Following the sale to the U.S.-based brand owner, KKUK will continue to operate as normal and the company will continue to pursue growth through the opening of new retail stores and self-serve cabinets across the UK and Republic of Ireland.
