Beloved doughnut chain Krispy Kreme turns 88 on Friday, July 18, and is offering customers a sweet deal to celebrate.
The company announced on Tuesday, July 15 it is offering customers a dozen Original Glazed doughnuts for just 88 cents with the purchase of any dozen at regular price on July 18. There is a limit of two dozen per customer when purchased in-shop and via drive-thru and one dozen when purchased online for pickup or delivery at participating shops while supplies last.
Customers ordering online should use the code "BDAY" to redeem the offer.
"Eighty-eight has never felt and tasted so great,' said Alison Holder, Krispy Kreme Chief Brand and Product Officer, in a news release. 'It's a real joy every year celebrating Krispy Kreme's birthday with our fans and treating them to a special deal. We're so grateful for their love and loyalty.'

The sweet, humble beginnings of Krispy Kreme
According to the news release, Krispy Kreme was founded in 1937 by Vernon Rudolph, who began selling doughnuts to grocery stores.
"Romanced by the irresistible scent of doughnut-making drifting into the streets, passersby asked if they could buy hot, fresh doughnuts," the chain said in a news release. "So, Rudolph cut a hole in an outside wall and began selling Original Glazed doughnuts directly to customers on the sidewalk."
Krispy Kreme, headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, now operates in more than 40 countries around the world.
Krispy Kreme unveils superhero doughnuts
The doughnut chain last week unveiled a new doughnut collection with a heroic twist.
The doughnut chain announced on Tuesday, July 8, its "Hungry for Heroes" collection in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery. The collection includes three new doughnuts celebrating DC Comics' most iconic heroes: Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman.
The doughnuts are available individually and in a custom-designed dozen's box beginning July 8 and for a limited time at participating U.S. shops. Customers can purchase the collection in-shop, for pickup or delivery via Krispy Kreme's app and website.
'We can't promise you'll reach Superman, Batman or Wonder Woman level by bringing a dozen doughnuts to the office or your next get-together, but you will be a hero,' said Dave Skena, Chief Growth Officer at Krispy Kreme, in a news release.
Also, from July 24-27, coinciding with San Diego Comic-Con, the doughnut chain will offer all customers who show their appreciation for their favorite DC superhero while visiting participating shops nationwide one free Hungry for Heroes doughnut with any purchase, while supplies last.
According to Krispy Kreme, customers can show their love by wearing merch, sharing their enthusiasm or presenting a movie ticket to redeem the offer.
