Free Doughnuts at Krispy Kreme
The doughnut chain is opening a new drive-thru store. Why should you care? Because it's giving away 10,000 free doughnuts.
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's gearing up to open the doors to a new Victorian drive-thru doughnut store in Bulleen, in Melbourne's northeast. And to celebrate, it'll be giving out a hefty 10,000 free original glazed doughnuts to punters who visit the store on opening weekend, between February 9 and 11.
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. The store's got room for 80, which seem excessive for a doughnut store that's schtick is drive-thru, as well as outdoor seating and a 'hot now' light signalling when the doughnuts are coming in fresh off the line.
Obviously, Melbourne has many a doughnut shop — from Greek to artisan earl grey and rose cake rounds to the hot meat variety — 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 8am on Friday, February 9 until Sunday, February 11, and the story is open from 6am till 11pm daily. There's a limit of one per person.
