Other new offerings include the Watermelon, American Pooh, It’s Ya Birthday, All American Pinky, and American Pee Weez doughnuts. If you'd like to celebrate America’s 250th birthday with the new Pinkbox collection, the limited-time Independence Day doughnuts will be available from all Pinkbox Doughnuts shops on Friday, July 3, and Saturday, July 4.
