Celebrate With Dolly
Krispy Kreme is running special promotions to mark the occasion, including offering free original glazed doughnuts to customers who show their Dolly spirit.
Wear Dolly apparel or sing one of her hits at a store on May 18 to enjoy a doughnut on the house. Each themed dozen box in the collection will feature two of each new flavor and four original glazed doughnuts to round out the dozen, ensuring there's something for everyone.
From Country Music to Confectioneries
People noted that this chis collaboration highlights Dolly Parton's continued foray into various business ventures, extending her influence beyond the music industry. With a track record of successful partnerships, from Duncan Hines to Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams, Parton adds a sweet note to her entrepreneurial portfolio with Krispy Kreme.
