National Doughnut Day History:

This sweet tradition dates back to 1938. The Salvation Army in Chicago started National Doughnut Day to honor their “doughnut lassies” who served donuts and coffee to soldiers fighting on the front lines of World War I. So next time you bite into that delicious donut, remember the brave women who inspired this tasty holiday!

So what are you waiting for? Get out there and celebrate National Doughnut Day! Just remember, these offers are likely for today only, so don’t miss out! Happy eating!
