CLEVELAND (WJW) — Krispy Kreme is celebrating 86 years in business with a deal on doughnuts.
On Friday, July 14, customers at Krispy Kreme who purchase any dozen doughnuts can buy an additional Original Glazed dozen for an additional 86 cents, the company announced.
In-store customers will be limited to four offers, while those ordering online for pickup or delivery (using offer code 86YEARS) will be limited to one 86-cent dozen.
“Gifting fans a dozen Original Glazed doughnuts for just 86 cents when they buy any dozen is a pretty sweet way to celebrate 86 years of delicious doughnuts,” Krispy Kreme executive Dave Skena said in a press release.
Krispy Kreme’s history dates back to 1933, but it wasn’t until 1937 that Krispy Kreme founder Vernon Rudolph began selling doughnuts directly to customers. Rudolph had been selling his doughnuts wholesale to grocery stores during the first few years, but the demand from passersby outside of his North Carolina shop convinced him to cut a hole in the wall in 1937 and begin selling to customers on the sidewalk.
