India, June 25 -- McDonald's and Krispy Kreme have put an end to their partnership after "careful consideration," NBC News reported. The decision also closes doors on the ambitious plan to sell treats from the doughnut chain at all McDonald's outlets in the United States.

McDonald's and Krispy Kreme initially announced their plan last March. However, it was put into motion just a little over six months ago. In May, Krispy Kreme decided to put everything on hold, citing a need to boost sales.

With the partnership now over, McDonald's will stop selling the doughnuts from July 2. The two companies highlighted in their joint release that it did not take long enough for them to figure out that their strategy had failed.
