Tim Hortons Cafe & Bake Shop celebrates National Donut Day with free donut
Guests who say "Happy National Donut Day" receive a free donut with any purchase on June 6
DUBLIN, OH, May 30, 2014 /CNW/ - In celebration of National Donut Day, Tim Hortons Cafe & Bake Shop is offering a free donut with any purchase to guests on June 6-National Donut Day.
U.S. guests who visit participating Tim Hortons Cafe & Bake Shop restaurants and say "Happy National Donut Day" will receive the promotional offer. This is the fifth year the bakery cafe chain is participating in National Donut Day celebrations.
"National Donut Day is a celebration that is close to our heritage as it pays homage to one of our key baked goods," said Mike Meilleur, executive vice president, Tim Hortons U.S. "A tasty free donut with purchase is our way to treat loyal guests and welcome new fans to the brand."
When Tim Hortons restaurants first opened 50 years ago, the brand offered only two products - coffee and donuts. While Tim Hortons has been updating its menu over the decades to suit guests' evolving preferences, it is still known and loved today for its wide variety of trademark donuts and bite-sized Timbits®. The chain's bestselling donut in the United States is the Boston Cream.
National Donut Day is celebrated across the United States on the first Friday in June. The annual event originated in 1938 as a Great Depression fundraiser by the Chicago Salvation Army to honor women who served donuts to soldiers in World War I.
