Krispy Kreme Giving Away Doughnuts During National Doughnut Week
Krispy Kreme is doing some serious celebrating during National Doughnut week the first week of June this year: they’re giving away free doughnuts.
From June 1 to June 5, Krispy Kreme customers can get a free doughnut to celebrate national Doughnut Week; no other purchase is necessary.
The only limitations for National Doughnut Week are that customers can only get one free doughnut per day and that the free doughnuts can’t be ordered for delivery.
Krispy Kreme’s director of marketing said, “National Doughnut Day is one of our favorite holidays to celebrate, but with days starting to blur together, we want to make sure it’s easier than ever for fans to participate. That’s why, this year, we’re extending our beloved free doughnut tradition from one day to five days with the very first National Doughnut Week.”
