Happy 89th Birthday, Krispy Kreme! That’s nearly nine decades of serving its iconic hot and fresh Original Glazed doughnuts. (Can you fit 89 candles on a doughnut?)
The popular doughnut shop is celebrating its big day with a sweet deal for doughnut lovers.

Krispy Kreme was founded in 1937 by Vernon Rudolph, who began selling doughnuts to grocery stores.
Drawn by the irresistible scent of doughnut-making drifting into the streets, passersby asked if they could buy the hot, fresh doughnuts.
What did Rudolph do? He cut a hole in an outside wall and began selling Original Glazed doughnuts directly to customers on the sidewalk.
Nearing nine decades later, Krispy Kreme continues to evolve its menu with a wide range of delicious doughnut innovations — all while the Original Glazed doughnut remains just as delicious and iconic as ever.
