GREENSBORO, N.C. — My bracket is like so many, it's busted. While my team is not going to take home the trophy or the bragging rights, I can take home a free Krispy Kreme donut and you can too!

Krispy Kreme is giving out a free original glazed donut to any customer when you show your busted or booming bracket. Your bracket can be on paper, on your phone, it doesn't matter. You show the bracket, you get the donut.

If you're not part of the Krispy Kreme My Sweet Rewards program, you can sign-up and get $1 dozen original glazed when you buy a dozen donuts. This promotion goes through April 4, 2022.

KRISPY KREME... A TRIAD STAPLE!

Headquartered in Winston-Salem, the company was founded in 1937 by Vernon Carver Rudolph.   

During the early summer of 1937, Rudolph decided to leave Nashville, Tennessee to open a doughnut shop. He arrived in Winston-Salem with $25 in cash, a few pieces of doughnut-making equipment, the secret recipe, and the name Krispy Kreme Doughnuts.  

According to the company's website, Rudolph's last $25 was used to rent a building across from Salem Academy and College in what is now called historic Old Salem.
