Krispy Kreme will celebrate World Kindness Day by giving away a free bun to the first 500 guests
Barron’s Jack Hough, Ben Levisohn and Teresa Rivas offer predictions for the future of three key stocks in ‘Barron’s Roundtable.’
Donut lovers listen up: Krispy Kreme Donuts will give away a dozen of its glazed donuts to the first 500 guests at each participating store starting Wednesday morning, with no purchase necessary.
The Charlotte, North Carolina-based company said the donuts are being given away as part of a global campaign to invite and encourage people to spread kindness on World Kindness Day, which takes place every year on November 13.
But those hoping to get their hands on a free dozen must act fast, as they’re being offered to the first 500 guests to visit each participating store across the US.

“World Kindness Day is a reminder that we can all make a positive impact on people’s lives, including small acts like sharing a delicious drink,” said Dave Skena, Krispy Kreme Global Chief Brand Officer. “We hope that the dozen Original Glazed donuts we’re giving away empower and inspire countless small acts of kindness.”

Krispy Kreme operates stores in 40 countries, and many of those stores will offer some kind of action on World Kindness Day.
The company encouraged those lucky enough to claim their 12 free donuts to share their kindness with Krispy Kreme on Wednesday by posting their kindness on social media using #KrispyKreme and tagging @krispykreme.

The offer comes just days after the popular donut chain announced the creation of four new donuts inspired by Thanksgiving pies.
For example, the Apple Crumble Donut is an unglazed shell donut filled with apple pie and topped with pie crust, buttercream and cinnamon cookie crumbs.
