Krispy Kreme Clarifies
Posted by Danielle Bean in News on Friday, January 16, 2009
In response to my post yesterday about Krispy Kreme Doughnuts and “Freedom of Choice,” I received the following clarification from Brian Little, Krispy Kreme director of corporate communications.
Krispy Kreme Doughnuts’ Inauguration Day promotion on Tuesday, January 20, 2009, is offering one, free doughnut of a customer’s choice at participating Krispy Kreme locations nationwide. No purchase is necessary. The promotion allows customers to commemorate Inauguration Day by selecting one free doughnut of any variety at local participating stores. On Election Day, November 4, 2008, Krispy Kreme ran a promotion that provided customers with one free star-shaped doughnut at stores nationwide. The Inauguration Day promotion is not about any social or political issue.
A Krispy Kreme astonishingly poor and insensitive choice of words? Yes. A Krispy Kreme pro-abortion agenda? No.
