Krispy Kreme is going all out to celebrate by treating guests to a completely free doughnut of their choice on Friday, June 5, with absolutely no purchase necessary. Visitors can stop by any participating location across the country to pick out their favorite flavor and join the fun.

The giveaway includes legendary, fan-favorite flavors like the iconic Original Glazed®, as well as classic varieties such as Strawberry Iced with Sprinkles or Chocolate Iced Kreme™ Filled. To make sure you don’t miss out, keep in mind that this free offer is limited to one doughnut per guest and is available exclusively for in-shop visitors or via the drive-thru. The deal does exclude limited-time doughnuts, seasonal flavors, and Original Glazed cinnamon rolls. This means guests cannot use this promotion to get one of the Masters of the Universe doughnuts.

To make the holiday even better, the brand is serving up a spectacular companion offer. Guests can also enjoy a full dozen Original Glazed® doughnuts for just $2 with the purchase of any other dozen. This buy-one-get-one-discounted promotion will be available in-shop and at participating drive-thru lanes, making it the perfect excuse to bring a box of fresh treats to your coworkers or family.

“National Doughnut Day is one of our most joyful traditions – a moment to celebrate the doughnuts people love, the guests who inspire us every day and the simple happiness that comes from sharing something sweet,” said Alison Holder, chief brand & product officer at Krispy Kreme. “We’re excited to welcome everyone in on Friday to enjoy a free Krispy Kreme favorite and celebrate with us.”
