HAPPY NATIONAL DOUGHNUT DAY!

National Doughnut / Donut Day started in 1938 as a fundraiser for Chicago’s Salvation Army, with the goal of helping those in need during the Great Depression, and to honor The Salvation Army “Lassies” of World War I, who served doughnuts to soldiers. The holiday celebrates the doughnut, and many doughnut stores in America offer free doughnuts to customers. This year, National Donut / Doughnut Day is June 1st, and we’ve “rounded” up all the local Asheville area deals for you, to help you celebrate!

What’s The Deal: Happy National Doughnut day!! There will be no free doughnuts today. Instead, we are celebrating our glorious team! They will be earning holiday pay at time and a half! Let’s give a huge hand (and maybe a nice tip if you’re feeling celebratory) to Joseph, Alex, Neomi and Laurie. We love our doughnuts and coffee, but we know that it’s these people who really create the vibe and the memories. So many customers tell us so. We also want to give a shout out to @justeconomicswnc for their hard work advocating for living wage employment. We feel so passionately that paying our employees above a living wage makes our small business successful and joyful. Our employees experience a strong life/work balance because they don’t have to take on second jobs or excessive hours to afford to live in this beautiful little city. They take that resulting joy and energy with them to work every single day. And we are so grateful. We are also thankful that our customers seem to love these amazing people as much as we do, and keep on coming back to see them! The delicious doughnuts they hand-make to order are really just a sweet bonus! The good life is all about these kinds of meaningful connections we have with other people. We love this community so much. Thank you.
