How to Get a Free Krispy Kreme Donut Every Day Until Labor Day
If you’ve ever driven past a Krispy Kreme store, noticed that their iconic “Hot Donuts Now” sign is lit up, and you’re tempted to stop by for a warm and delicious piece of sweet fried dough, now you have the perfect excuse. The chain isrunning a summer promotion that could bring in many (many) free glazed donuts. Here’s what you need to know.
How to get a free donut every day on Labor Day
From today until Labor Day (Monday, September 5th), you can getone free Krispy Kreme donut with original icing every day when you walk into the store when the neon sign, officially known as “Hot Light”, is lit.
No other purchases are required to get a freebie, but you actually need to come to the store – no travel costs. It is also not valid for online or delivery orders, or in grocery or convenience stores. Customers are limited to one free donut per day. You also cannot combine the promotion with other offers or coupons.
How to know when Krispy Kreme Hot Light is on
When the Hot Light indicator is on, it means that the original glazed Krispy Kreme donuts have just been taken out of the oven and are rolling off the glaze. The difficulty lies in the fact that Hot Light does not have set hours of operation throughout the country: they vary depending on the store. (You can find a location near you on the company’s website.)
A 2019 Reader’s Digest investigation found that Krispy Kreme stores make glazed donuts (and in turn turn on Hot Light) twice a day: once from early morning to mid-morning and again sometime between early evening and closing time .
The easiest way to know when the Hot Light is on is to download the Krispy Kreme app . Once that’s done, click “Find a Store” to view a list of stores near you, then click the small dropdown labeled “Show Hours.” This will let you know when a hot light comes on in that place. You can go one step further and get notified when your favorite store turns on the lights.
