WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Krispy Kreme Doughnuts will celebrate the 80th birthday of its Original Glazed doughnut on Friday, July 14, a day after Krispy Kreme opened its doors for the first time in 1937. Customers can enjoy a dozen Original Glazed doughnuts for just 80 cents with the purchase of any dozen at regular menu price that day at participating shops in the United States and Canada.

“The joy created by our Original Glazed doughnut and its secret recipe spans generations, and that is certainly something to celebrate,” said Jackie Woodward, chief marketing officer of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts.

Guests are invited to show how they celebrate Krispy Kreme’s #OriginalGlazed on July 14 by posting a photo with the Original Glazed doughnut and tagging @krispykreme. Krispy Kreme’s franchisee, Shaquille O’Neal, is celebrating 80 years of the Original Glazed doughnut by throwing a surprise birthday party with customers.

Krispy Kreme also recently announced the return of the Cake Batter doughnut, which will remain a menu item at participating shops in the United States and Canada.
