Free Doughnuts at Krispy Kreme

Overview

If there's one thing the world probably doesn't need more of, it's drive-thru fast food joints. But hey, when doughnuts are involved, anything goes. Especially when they're free.

So Krispy Kreme is gearing up to open the doors to a new Queensland drive-thru doughnut store in Acacia Ridge, in Brisbane's south. And to celebrate, it'll be giving out a hefty 10,000 free original glazed doughnuts to punters who visit the store on Thursday, July 18.

You won't even need to leave your car to grab your signature glazed freebie, though if you'd rather not feel quite that lazy, you can physically head in and check out the new digs. If you've been inside a Krispy Kreme store before, you may feel like you've seen it all — but this one will be the first in the world to power its doughnut-making operations with solar panels.

Obviously, Brisbane has many other doughnut shops — from gluten-free to patisserie-made — that we'd recommend over Krispy Kreme, but if you're keen on novelty and free stuff, hop to it. The doughnuts will be free from 7.30am–10pm, and there's a limit of one per person.
