Krispy Kreme Near Mission Viejo ‘Deflates’ Donut Prices

MISSION VIEJO, CA — In response to surging inflation and monstrous gas prices, Krispy Kreme stores across the nation and California will tie the price for a dozen donuts to the U.S. average for a regular gallon of gas, the company announced.

Donut prices will deflate every Wednesday for one month. On April 13, the national average tethered to donut prices was $4.11, but that will change each week.

The price of fuel is much higher in California, where drivers were paying an average of $5.73 per gallon of regular gas on Wednesday.

In Mission Viejo, the closest Krispy Kreme store is located at 25802 El Paseo. For more information about store hours, visit the store's website.

“We know everyone could use a little doughnut deflation to sweeten the recent pain at the pump,” the company said on its website. “So for the next four Wednesdays, we are helping you fill your tank with Original Glazed Dozens by pricing them at the cost of the national average of 1 gallon of regular gas.”

Prices will be updated weekly as the gas price average shifts and customers can redeem the offer in Krispy Kreme shops, drive-thru and online pickup.

There are 35 Krispy Kreme locations in California. Find a location near you.

The offer limits two receptions per guest and will be offered every Wednesday through May 4.
