Krispy Kreme® to give away free doughnuts on Thursday to help fans ask their boss for an early finish to watch the footie

With less than a quarter (21%) of workers being given an early finish for the big game on Thursday, Krispy Kreme® is helping Brits try a sweeter approach to convince their boss into time off to support the national squad by offering a FREE Original GlazedTM 4-pack with every £9.95 Original Glazed dozen purchased on Thursday 20th June.

New research commissioned by Krispy Kreme® revealed that when work has clashed with something else they’d rather do, Brits have pulled the red card by calling in sick (31%), pretending to have a family emergency (14%) or faking a doctor’s appointment (9%). Workers also admit to putting in extra long hours (45%), feigning sickness around the office e.g. coughing or a lost voice (11%) and dropping hints (9%) to try to wangle time off.

But instead of resorting to duplicity, Krispy Kreme® is encouraging Brits to use a sweet treat to help their bosses look favourably on an early finish this Thursday in order to let them support their squad.

In Scotland Krispy Kreme® also has a limited-edition doughnut available for the duration of the tournament with The Saltire,  a caramel fudge KremeTM doughnut decorated with blue icing and white frosting. The Scottish-themed doughnut is available from 14th June – 21st July, across Scottish DFD outlets and retail shops. Don’t fumble the ball and miss out!

On all other England and Scotland match days, respective countries can celebrate with a sweet treat for less with Krispy Kreme® offering Original GlazedTM dozens for just £9.95. Here’s to hoping football fans across the country can use these offers to cheer on the England team, whether at home or work.
