Krispy Kreme Is Offering a Dozen Doughnuts for $2.29 on Leap Day
February 27, 2024
Leap Day, that special day that appears only once every four years on Feb. 29, is back again for 2024. This year, it lands on a Thursday, and Krispy Kreme is all in for the celebration.
To celebrate, Krispy Kreme has something sweet in store for its customers: a dozen original glazed doughnuts for just $2.29 to celebrate the 2/29 calendar date. But there’s a catch — you’ll need to buy a regularly priced dozen to avail of this sweet deal.
The celebration doesn’t stop there. If your birthday falls on Leap Day, Krispy Kreme has a special treat just for you. Swing by the shop, and you’ll walk away with a free original glazed dozen, no purchase necessary.
Dave Skena, the global chief brand officer of Krispy Kreme, expressed the brand’s excitement about seizing this rare opportunity. “An extra day in the year is an irresistible opportunity for Krispy Kreme to be extra sweet to our guests,” he remarked in a media statement. “We’re sweetening Leap Day by the dozens, including for fans whose true birthday comes around every four years.”
Did you know that having a Leap Day birthday is like winning a rare lottery? According to Lamaze International, the chances of being born on Feb. 29 are about 1 in 1,461.
This isn’t the first time Krispy Kreme has made a fuss over a special day. The company previously had a limited-edition Valentine’s Day collection. Moreover, Krispy Kreme celebrated the “Day of the Dozen” on Dec. 12 for its customers.
If you’re planning to indulge in this Leap Day deal, Krispy Kreme encourages customers to tag the brand in their posts and share the promotion via social media so that those who enjoy doughnuts can take advantage of it.
For more details on the Leap Day offerings, head over to Krispy Kreme’s website, then mark your calendars and get ready to treat yourself on this rare occasion.
