Celebrate National Doughnut Day in Cleveland
Free doughnuts are on the menu Friday for National Doughnut Day — aka National Donut Day in some circles.
The big picture: National chains, including 7-Eleven, Krispy Kreme, Dunkin' and Sheetz, are celebrating June 6 with savings on your sugar fix.
Flashback: The fake holiday was established in Chicago as a Salvation Army fundraiser in 1938.
It honored the Donut Lassies who served the circular treats to soldiers during World War I.
💭 Sam's thought bubble: My west side ZIP code is prime real estate for local doughnut lovers, with Brewnuts and Goldie's both less than a mile away.
Between the sprinkles: Brewnuts' daily offerings are so enormous and decadent that I pretty much reserve them for special occasions or photo ops.
For Friday's festivities, they've got limited edition swag and are offering free mini doughnuts to the first 100 customers.
Goldie's has grown on me since opening in 2023, with rock-solid basics and just enough variety to avoid redundancies in a dozen box.
