Krispy Kreme is rolling back the prices, but for a single day only, to celebrate its 87th anniversary. Doughnut aficionados come tomorrow, you can grab yourself a dozen Original Glazed doughnuts for the nostalgic price of just 87 cents with the purchase of any dozen at the regular price. "Treating our fans on our birthday is a long-time tradition," Global Chief Brand Officer Dave Skena expressed in a news release to the NBC Philadelphia. The offer stands as a token of gratitude for customers who have supported the chain over the decades.
Customers eager to take advantage of this deal will have some limitations to consider. When securing their sugary haul in-shop or via drive-thru, a cap of two dozen doughnuts per person applies. Opting to order online, which can be done by using promo code "BDAY," is limited to just one dozen for pickup or delivery. This information comes from The Augusta Chronicle, which shared details of the Krispy Kreme anniversary promotion.
Having originated in 1937, Krispy Kreme has become a household name with its iconic cascades of glaze and distinctive Original Glazed doughnuts. These treats were so irresistible that founder Vernon Rudolph ended up selling them directly to the public from a hole in the wall of his bakery, thus setting the foundation for what Krispy Kreme would become. The promotion harks back to such humbler beginnings, according to historical accounts referenced by FOX59.
Krispy Kreme has a precedent of doling out discounts for various occasions, including World Kindness Day and April Fools' Day. For those keeping track, the deal mirrors last year's birthday celebration, wherein a dozen Original Glazed doughnuts were sold for 86 cents, as mentioned by NBC Philadelphia. It's a tradition that sweet-toothed fans have come to look forward to, and this year's anniversary celebration seems to be no exception.
