Sprinkles Cupcakes abruptly closing all stores nationwide: Full list of current locations

WASHINGTON — Sprinkles Cupcakes appears to be closing all of its local bakeries across the country. 

Sprinkles, which launched in 2005, currently has 20 locations across six states and Washington, D.C. 

While the company has yet to issue an official statement, an employee reached by calling Sprinkles in D.C. confirmed that all of the stores would be closing on Dec. 31. 

Similar reports from other stores said the bakeries would close permanently at 8 p.m. local time. 

The online ordering system for all of the Sprinkles stores is currently only allowing orders for New Year’s Eve and lists “no times available” for every day starting Jan. 1, 2026. 

Sprinkles also lists 25 Cupcake ATM locations across the country. It’s unclear what will happen to those ATMs. 

Sprinkles Cupcakes did not respond to a request for comment on Dec. 31. 

The comments section of the company’s latest social posts have been filled with upset employees alleging they were only given a day notice they would be losing their jobs. 

“Cupcakes are sweet. One-day layoff notices are not. Yikes, what a bold way to celebrate 20 years and ring in the new year,” one commenter wrote on Dec. 30. Another person commented that “One day notice is crazy. Just used us for the holidays then tossed us aside.” 

Sprinkles founder Candace Nelson, who sold the company to private equity in 2012, posted Wednesday that she learned a few days ago the business would be closing its bakery doors. 

“I sold Sprinkles in 2012 and have no ownership or operational involvement in the company,” Nelson wrote in the caption of her Instagram video. “Still, it’s surreal to see this chapter come to a close – and it’s not how I imagined the story would unfold.”

“This isn’t how I thought the story would go,” Nelson described in the video. “I thought Sprinkles would keep growing and be around forever. I thought it was gonna be my legacy.”
