Krispy Kreme is once again gearing up to celebrate the Fourth of July, this time announcing the launch of its new 'I Heart America' collection. The new pastry collection will feature four all-new doughnuts, including 'Soaring Firework Heart,' 'Patriotic Cookies & Kreme Heart,' 'Stars & Stripes Heart,' and 'Star Spangled Sprinkle.'
In addition to the new collection, Krispy Kreme has also announced that it will be running an in-store promotion; customers who attend the store wearing red, white, and blue will receive a free doughnut of their choice. Both the 'I Heart American' collection and in-store promotion will run from June 27 to July 4 at all Krispy Kreme shops throughout the United States. The new offerings will not interrupt the brand's 'Sweet New Deal' promotion, allowing guests to sample a free doughnut and coffee through Labor Day.
