Beloved donut chain Krispy Kreme turns 88 on Friday, July 18th and offers a sweet deal to celebrate its customers.

On Tuesday, July 15th, the company announced that it will offer customers just 88 cents for a dozen purchases at regular prices on July 18th.

Customers ordering online must redeem the offer using the code “bday”.

“Eighty-eight people have never felt that great or tasted this much,” said Alison Holder, chief brand and product officer at Krispy Kreme, in a news release. “Every year we celebrate Krispy Kreme’s birthday with our fans and deal with special deals. We are so grateful for their love and loyalty.”

The sweet and humble beginnings of Krispy Kreme

According to a news release, Krispy Kreme was founded in 1937 by Vernon Rudolph.

“Romanced by the fascinating fragrance of donut making wafting down the streets, passersby asked if they could buy hot fresh donuts,” the chain said in a news release. “So Rudolph cut holes in the outside wall and began selling original glazed donuts directly to customers on the sidewalk.”

Headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, Krispy Kreme currently operates in more than 40 countries around the world.

The donut chain unveiled a new collection of donuts last week with a heroic twist.

The donut chain was announced on Tuesday, July 8th, and collaborated with Warner Bros Discovery to unveil the “Hungry for Heroes” collection. This collection includes three new donuts to celebrate DC Comics’ most iconic heroes: Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman.

  • Superman Donut: Glassless shell donut filled with white cream, soaked in light blue icing and topped with Superman butter cream flavored clouds, adorned the image of Superman and sprinkle blends.
  • Batman Donut: Glass-free shell donut filled with cookies and cream, soaked in black chocolate icing and topped with a butt emblem.
  • Wonder Woman Donut: An original glazed donut dipped in red raspberry-flavored icing topped with white stars and blue sprinkles, Wonder Woman logo and belt.

Donuts will be available individually and in dozens of custom designed boxes starting July 8th, with limited time at participating US stores. Customers can purchase collections within the shop for pick-up or delivery via the Krispy Kreme app and website.

“You can’t reach the level of Superman, Batman or Wonder Woman. By bringing a dozen doughnuts to your office or the next gathering, you become a hero,” said Dave Skena, Chief Growth Director, Krispy Kreme, in a news release.

Also, in line with San Diego Comic Con from July 24-27, the donut chain will offer to all customers who are showing their appreciation for their favorite DC superheroes while visiting participating shops across the country.

According to Krispy Kreme, customers can show their love by wearing items, sharing their enthusiasm, and presenting movie tickets to redeem offers.
