Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Inc. is celebrating National Doughnut Day on Friday, June 6, by offering customers who visit participating Krispy Kreme retail locations in the United States one free doughnut of their choice.

National Doughnut Day was established in 1938 by the Chicago Salvation Army to raise funds during the Great Depression and to honor the work of World War I Salvation Army volunteers who prepared doughnuts for thousands of soldiers. National Doughnut Day is celebrated annually on the first Friday in June.
