It’s National Doughnut Day! Here Are The Places Giving You A Deal

June 7 is National Doughnut Day  or National Donut Day in some circles  and shops across the country are marking the day with fried freebies and delectable deals.

Celebrated annually on the first Friday in June, the day of the pastry was established in 1938 to honor the Salvation Army Donut Lassies, women who served the treats to soldiers during World War I.

Expect doughnut shops and bakeries to be crowded Friday, which is one of the busiest days of the year for bakeries. Here are the places giving you a deal.

Krispy Kreme: No purchase is necessary to get one free doughnut Friday and if Krispy Kreme gives away 1 million free doughnuts, the company says it will reward fans with a second free doughnut offer later in June. Learn more at www.krispykreme.com.

Salvation Army: Staff and volunteers will celebrate National Donut Day by delivering donuts and hosting events across the country.

Shipley Do-Nuts: From 5 a.m. to noon Friday, get a free “Glazed Do-Nut” with any purchase.
