Donut King refreshes its menu with first foray into low-fat treats

To snag a slice of Australia’s lucrative health-conscious consumer market, Donut King will take its first strategic step towards healthier snacks with the launch of a new, ‘healthier’ product range.

Donut King’s first foray into healthy treats will be its new 99% fat free smoothies made from yoghurt.

Available at Donut King’s 300+ stores across Australia, the three Fruity-licious flavours are Berry Buster, Mighty Mango & Banana Rama. The smoothies will be a permanent fixture on Donut King’s menu.

Donut King Marketing Manager Tracey Catterall said the smoothies represented a new strategic avenue for the company based on the demands from the health conscious consumer.

“More and more Australians are becoming increasingly health-conscious, so we wanted to make sure we continued to offer delicious products that everyone can enjoy.

“Australian families have told us they still love Donut King’s delicious donuts, but sometimes parents are interested in a healthier alternative.

“Our new smoothie range is now available with yoghurt and is 99% fat free, and contains all the ‘good bacteria’ to help you and your children remain healthy.

“From Berry Buster and Banana Rama to Mighty Mango, our new smoothies are a refreshingly cool and healthy alternative.

“The smoothies are also a great breakfast alternative when you’re on the go.”

As Australia's largest specialty donut and coffee chain, Donut King operates more than 300 stores across Australia, employing over 4,600 staff and serving 30 million donuts to Australians every year. The Donut King franchise network is owned and managed by ASX Listed Retail Food Group Limited (RFG).

An open letter from a franchisee ...

Dear Dog Lovers,

If you are a Dog Lover like me then this may be a wonderful opportunity for you.

 

Life is for living, so when it comes to work it makes sense to do something you are passionate about, a career that inspires you and has you bounding out of bed, eager to begin your day.

This is exactly how I felt before joining Aussie Pooch Mobile Dog Wash, the National Award winning franchise. Now I spend my days doing something I truly love, have fun, and are kept fit and healthy.

But, best of all, my franchise with Aussie Pooch allows me to be my own boss, giving me independence and the flexibility to work my own hours and creates my financial freedom. I reap the rewards for my effort.

I initially started a franchise with Aussie Pooch operating it around my young family, later I purchased additional territories and built and split them up, gaining a further profit.

I have been with Aussie Pooch for over 10 years now.

The back up and support I receive is second to none. Joining Aussie Pooch Mobile has changed my life.  Join our team and you too can have the good fortune of enjoying what you do and earning fantastic money.
