Krispy Kreme is encouraging doughnut-lovers to celebrate their 85 th birthday by dropping the price of any of their dozens to £8.50 on Friday July 15. The deal, which can be enjoyed in every Krispy Kreme retail shop, includes the Original Glazed Dozen, Hot Original Glazed Dozen and the Sharer Dozen and all consumers need to do is wish Krispy Kreme staff a “Happy 85 th Birthday”.
Fans can also choose their 12 favourite doughnuts and make a Choose Your Own Dozen for nearly half the price.
Krispy Kreme was founded in 1937 by Vernon Rudolph, who began selling doughnuts to grocery stores. Passers-by asked if they could buy hot, fresh doughnuts. So, Rudolph cut a hole in an outside wall and began selling Original Glazed doughnuts directly to customers on the sidewalk.
In the 85 years since, Krispy Kreme has evolved its menu to introduce a range of doughnut innovations but has never changed the secret recipe of the Original Glazed doughnut.
