Krispy Kreme: This chain has two promotions going on Friday, according to its website. Customers at participating shops can get one free doughnut of their choice on June 3 with no purchase necessary. They can also buy a dozen original glazed doughnuts for $1 with the purchase of a dozen doughnuts or 16 minis.
From June 8 through Labor Day, there will be a “Beat the Pump” promotion with the price of a dozen original glazed doughnuts set to match the average national price of a gallon of regular gasoline, according to a news release.
