Get a dozen doughnuts for just 88 cents at Krispy Kreme
Krispy Kreme knows how to spread the love. Whether it's celebrating National Doughnut Day, the Olympics or giving away a sweet treat after a stressful day, the beloved chain has plenty of deals for doughnut fans. This Friday, July 18, Krispy Kreme is set to celebrate 88 years with another tasty offer: a dozen glazed doughnuts for just 88 cents. You read that right: For one day only you can get an Original Glazed dozen for a mere 88 cents when you purchase any dozen at regular price. "Eighty-eight has never felt and tasted so great," said Alison Holder, Krispy Kreme Chief Brand and Product Officer. "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 deal is good for up to two discounted dozens in store or via the drive-thru, or one dozen when ordered online for pickup or delivery (use code BDAY). It's only available while supplies last, so get there early to claim your party favor. This celebration tips its hat to Krispy Kreme's roots. Back in 1937, founder Vernon Rudolph started by selling doughnuts wholesale. But the heavenly aroma pouring onto the street drew in passersby hungry for a taste. Rudolph cut a hole in the wall, started selling direct to customers, and the Original Glazed legend was born. Eighty-eight years later, the formula hasn't changed: a melt-in-your-mouth classic that's impossible to resist—especially when that famous Hot Light is glowing. Today, Krispy Kreme keeps fans happy with new flavors and limited drops, but the Original Glazed remains the hero.
