Donut Day is just two days away, and we want to help you celebrate! But to keep up with the amount of donut orders we get, we need you to order your donuts by the end of the day today!
In case you aren’t familiar with the national holiday celebrating these tasty rings of goodness, Donut Day was started by the Salvation Army in 1938, to honor the men and women who served donuts to soldiers during the First World War. In an effort to provide freshly baked goods for servicemen, the Salvation Army opened up huts across France, offering pie, coffee, and most importantly, donuts. Since then, Donut Day is celebrated on the first Friday of June.
Check out some of the best baked goods in town, including:
Delicious Donuts – Delicious Donuts provides many businesses, including Zupan’s & local coffee shops, with their delicious creations. Odds are that you have had one and not even known it. Delicious Donuts has everything, from the Old Fashioned plain donut to the decadent Buttermilk and Cake donuts, to their “Bad Boy” specialties, including Bear Claws, Apple Fritters, and Cinnamon Rolls.
