Krispy Kreme Gives Free Doughnuts on National Donut Day
2008-06-07
Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Inc. is commemorating National Donut Day by giving a free donut to each of its customers on Friday. Customers who visit participating Krispy Kreme retail locations will get one free doughnut of their choice.

National Donut Day, also spelled National Doughnut Day, started in 1938 as a fund raiser for the Chicago Salvation Army. The Salvation Army wanted to help the needy during the Great Depression and also wanted to honor the Salvation Army "Lassies" of WWI, who served doughnuts to soldiers on the front lines. National Donut Day is celebrated annually on the first Friday in June.

Participating locations of Krispy Kreme are located on the company website, www.mmmmmm-donuts!.com

#4  Krispy Kreme turned into a total flop here in Colorado Springs. They've now closed up shop and "moved on". We have a couple of local shops that give them some heady competition.
