Krispy Kreme announced yesterday plans to commemorate its leap year deal. Customers who purchase any dozen doughnuts at regular price can get an additional box of original glazed doughnuts for only $2.29.
This deal, according to the company’s news release, also offers guests born on Feb. 29 to receive a free glazed doughnut, with no purchase necessary — although proof is required.
More on Krispy Kreme’s deal
At participating stores, per the company’s website, customers can order online for delivery or carryout using the promo code “LEAPDAY,” redeemable at checkout.
Krispy Kreme’s deal is limited to two orders per guest through the drive-thru and shop, and one for online delivery and pickup.
In addition, the birthday promo is limited to one per guest.
The company’s statement
Dave Skena, global chief brand officer for Krispy Kreme, shared in the news release, “An extra day in the year is an irresistible opportunity for Krispy Kreme to be extra-sweet to our guests.”
Skena added, “So, we’re sweetening Leap Day by the dozens, including for fans whose true birthday comes around only every four years.”
To promote the leap day celebration, Krispy Kreme is offering social media users to post about the event by using #KrispyKreme and tagging @krispykreme in their posts.
