Krispy Kreme Has 87-Cent Dozen Doughnuts Friday to Celebrate Birthday
Happy birthday Krispy Kreme! The beloved doughnut franchise turns 87 years old this week, and to celebrate the occasion Krispy Kreme stores around the world – including right here in Fayetteville – will sell a dozen of their original glazed doughnuts for just 87 cents.
The 87-Cent Doughnut Deal
On Friday, July 12, Krispy Kreme lovers can order a dozen original glazed doughnuts for only 87 cents with the purchase of any dozen at regular price. So you end up with two dozen doughnuts for basically the price of one, which is a superbly sweet deal!
Krispy Kreme’s Global Chief Brand Officer Dave Skena is grateful for the love and support that the company’s fans have shown over the last eight decades, as he expressed in a news release.
“Treating our fans on our birthday is a long-time tradition,” said Skena. “A dozen Original GlazedÂź doughnuts for just 87 cents when you buy any dozen is a sweet way for us to thank our fans who have kept us going all these years.”
History Of Krispy Kreme
Krispy Kreme was founded in Charlotte, North Carolina in 1937 by doughnut purveyor Vernon Rudolph, who started out by selling his homemade doughnuts to local grocery stores.
After being asked by a number of customers for hot, freshly-made doughnuts, Rudolph had the idea to cut a hole in the outside wall and served them directly to the public.
From humble beginnings in the Queen City, Rudolph was eventually able to transform a meager bakery into a worldwide phenomenon. And now, nearly nine decades later, Krispy Kreme fanatics know to look for the signature Hot Light letting them know when their local store has hot and fresh treats at the ready.
As of 2024, Krispy Kreme stores can be found in over 35 countries and continues to extend its reach. In fact, the popular doughnut chain opened its first store in France late last year, with many Parisians delighting in the delicious North Carolina delicacy.
