Coomera welcomes Australia’s largest Krispy Kreme store
Australia’s biggest Krispy Kreme has opened in Coomera, featuring a drive through, fresh doughnuts, and local jobs.
What’s happening?
Australia’s largest Krispy Kreme store has opened in Coomera, bringing the brand’s first-ever Gold Coast drive-through to the region.
The new store is located on Prosper Avenue and includes the well-known Hot Light, which alerts customers when fresh Original Glazed doughnuts are being made on site.
Inside, a glass viewing window gives customers a clear view of the full doughnut production line, allowing locals to watch doughnuts move from production to boxing.
The Coomera store officially opened on 22 January and welcomed crowds with live entertainment and in-store celebrations.
Why it matters
The opening marks a major milestone for Krispy Kreme on the Gold Coast, combining a drive-through option with a full production site.
It makes fresh doughnuts easier to access for locals and travellers, while offering an in-store experience that shows how the products are made.
“We’re incredibly proud to join the Gold Coast community and look forward to helping locals and travellers make life’s special moments even sweeter, one doughnut at a time,” Krispy Kreme Australia Marketing Director Aimee Cutajar said.
Local impact
The new Krispy Kreme store has created more than 60 jobs across manufacturing, retail, and management roles.
It adds a new food destination to Coomera and supports local employment as the area continues to grow.
By the numbers
The Coomera location is Australia’s largest Krispy Kreme store, making it the biggest Hot Light site in the country.
More than 60 new jobs have been created across manufacturing, retail, and management positions.
Around 8,000 free doughnuts were given away during the opening celebrations on 22 January.

The store includes a glass viewing window that showcases the full doughnut production process.
The store also introduces a daily Hot Light offer for customers visiting during specific hours.
“And if you spot the Hot Light on between 5 pm and 8 pm daily, you can redeem a free Original Glazed doughnut with purchase,” Ms Cutajar said.
Zoom out
The Coomera opening is Krispy Kreme’s first drive-through store on the Gold Coast.
