Krispy Kreme 🍩 sees 200% spike in donut traffic.

Need a sugar rush…?

You’re not alone.

Turns out scholar’s love sprinkles—especially those sitting atop a pillowy, glazed puff pastry. 

Mmmm…delicious.

So, on May 14th, Krispy Kreme ran a “free dozen” grad giveaway. And got a delicious spike of fresh, hot foot traffic — coming straight through their door.

Pretty sweet, huh?

But, let’s see if that 200% surge sticks around, and what it will mean for the bottom line.

Here are 3 things we know for sure:

• That surge hit May 13th — followed by traffic tapering off over the weekend.
• Krispy Kreme saw a 6% drop in traffic, April to May — while Dunkin’ had an 8% gain.
• Meanwhile, foot traffic from before and after the promotion seem relatively unaffected.
