Breakfast and snack time are about to get a whole lot sweeter this Friday, June 5, as donut lovers across the country prepare to celebrate National Donut Day with a massive lineup of freebies and discounts. While heavy hitters Krispy Kreme and Dunkin’ are leading the charge with their highly anticipated free donut promotions, they are far from the only chains turning the morning commute into a celebration. Popular stores like 7-Eleven, Duck Donuts, and Sheetz are also joining the party with their own special offers. Whether you are looking to swing by a single drive-thru or map out a strategic route to hit multiple shops, here is your ultimate guide to securing the best sweet rewards this Friday.
Krispy Kreme
For true purists, Krispy Kreme is rolling out the ultimate open-door policy. On Friday, June 5, customers can walk right in and claim one free donut of their choice with absolutely no purchase required. Whether your heart is set on their legendary Original Glazed, a classic chocolate iced Kreme-filled, or a sprinkle-covered favorite, it’s completely on the house. The offer is strictly limited to one per guest and is available exclusively in-shop or through the drive-thru.
Want to share the love? The brand is extending the celebration all week. From June 3–5, anyone who purchases a regular-priced dozen can add a second dozen of Original Glazed donuts for just $2.
Dunkin’
Dunkin’ is once again marking National Donut Day by rewarding customers with a free classic donut when they purchase any beverage on Friday, June 5. Whether guests order a hot coffee, iced drink, refresher, or espresso beverage, they can add a complimentary donut to their order while supplies last.
However, Dunkin’ is treating the holiday as a full-scale lifestyle event by expanding its viral, sold-out collaboration with customizable accessories brand Stoney Clover Lane. Alongside the breakfast deals, fans can shop limited-edition, coffee- and donut-themed merchandise — including crossbody bags, snack pouches, collectible patches, and bag charms.
“National Donut Day is one of our favorite traditions at Dunkin’, and this year we’re making it even sweeter for our guests,” said Jill Nelson, chief marketing officer at Dunkin’. “From bringing back our free donut offer to expanding our Stoney Clover Lane collaboration and giving Dunkin’ Rewards members more ways to join in, we’re celebrating all week long.”
7-Eleven
If you want to feed an entire office on a budget, the convenience giant is the place to be. 7-Eleven, Speedway, and Stripes stores nationwide are treating 7Rewards and Speedy Rewards loyalty members to classic glazed donuts for just 50 cents each all day Friday. The offer comes with no stated limit, allowing eligible customers to enjoy multiple donuts throughout the day at a significantly reduced price.
In addition to the glazed donut promotion, shoppers can also pick up packs of 7-Select Mini Donuts for only $1. The bite-sized treats are available in several flavors, including chocolate, cinnamon sugar, toasted coconut crunch, and powdered sugar, giving customers even more ways to celebrate the occasion.
Duck Donuts
The warm, made-to-order specialists at Duck Donuts are welcoming Friday crowds with a completely free classic donut. Guests can visit participating locations and receive one free classic donut without making a purchase. The chain is also offering a six-pack of classic donuts for $6, providing a budget-friendly option for customers looking to share the celebration with friends, family, or coworkers.
For those seeking more variety, Duck Donuts is additionally promoting a Party Half Dozen package for $8, giving customers access to a broader assortment of flavors and toppings.
Sheetz
Mid-Atlantic loyalty rewards members, rejoice. Convenience chain Sheetz is making sure your morning caffeine fix comes with a complimentary side of sugar. On June 5, customers who purchase a qualifying beverage can receive a free donut at participating locations.
