Krispy Kreme’s 89th Birthday Means Big Savings for Atlanta Doughnut Fans This Friday

Atlanta, GA – July 15, 2026 — Atlanta’s love affair with fresh, hot glazed doughnuts is about to get even sweeter.

Krispy Kreme is celebrating its 89th birthday with a one-day-only deal that’s perfect for Peach State sweet tooths: This Friday, July 17 only, when you buy any dozen doughnuts at participating Atlanta-area locations, you can grab a second dozen of the iconic Original Glazed for just 89 cents.

Krispy Kreme’s 89th Birthday Deal Means Big Savings for Atlanta Doughnut Fans This Friday

The national promotion, announced today by the brand, is designed to thank customers while marking nearly nine decades of the Original Glazed doughnut that first hit the scene in 1937. In Atlanta, where Krispy Kreme has long been a staple from Midtown to the suburbs, the deal is expected to draw lines at drive-thrus and walk-up windows across the metro.

“Whether you’re fueling up before a Braves game, grabbing a treat for the office in Buckhead, or making a late-night run after a show in the city, this is the kind of birthday surprise Atlanta deserves,” said a local Krispy Kreme spokesperson.

The offer is simple:

  • Purchase any dozen doughnuts (mix and match your favorites)
  • Add a dozen Original Glazed for just 89¢

The promotion runs Friday, July 17, 2026 only, while supplies last, at participating Krispy Kreme locations throughout the Atlanta metro area — including the popular drive-thru spots that light up the famous “Hot Light” when fresh doughnuts are coming off the line.

Pro tip for Atlanta drivers: Expect the usual Friday rush, especially near major highways and shopping centers. Many locations open early, so early birds can beat the crowds.

Krispy Kreme first opened its doors in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, but its Southern roots run deep — and Atlanta has always been one of its biggest fan bases. From office meetings to tailgates to just-because treats, the brand has become part of the city’s everyday fabric.

So mark your calendars, Atlanta. This Friday, the best way to celebrate Krispy Kreme turning 89 is by treating yourself (and maybe a few friends) to two dozen doughnuts for the price of basically one.

Offer valid July 17, 2026 only at participating locations. Not valid with other offers. While supplies last.
