Customers will be able to pick up one of three doughnut varieties for free with no purchase necessary. Krispy Kreme is offering its Original Glazed, Chocolate Iced with Sprinkles, and Original Filled doughnuts with the promotion.

Krispy Kreme has been stepping up its promotional offerings this year, according to a news commentary site.

Promotions have included free donuts for healthcare workers in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, as well as the “Graduate Dozen.” That promotion allowed graduates who showed up to a Krispy Kreme store in their cap and gown could get one dozen of doughnuts for free.

Going on right now, healthcare workers can receive a $1 glazed dozen with any full-priced dozen purchase every Monday until Labor Day, 9/7.
