Free Donuts In Rockville: Here's How To Get Some

ROCKVILLE, MD — Next Friday, June 2, is National Donut Day, and a Rockville doughnut shop will be handing out free donuts to celebrate.

Duck Donuts is giving customers a free donut of their choice with any purchase on June 2. In addition, your receipt will also have a "Buy One Get One Free 1/2 Dozen" redeemable until Aug. 31. Duck Donuts, which has dozens of locations in the eastern United States, has a shop at 1327 Rockville Pike in Rockville, and at 511 Quince Orchard Road in Gaithersburg.

“National Donut Day is one of Duck Donuts’ favorite holidays to celebrate with our customers and throughout the community,” said Russ DiGilio, founder and owner of Duck Donuts Franchising Company LLC, in a statement. “This year, we’re excited to give our customers the opportunity to not only commemorate the day in-stores, but also on Facebook, through our ‘12 Days of Donuts’ contest, offering our fans the chance to win our famous donuts.”

National Donut Day was established back in 1938 by the Chicago Salvation Army to honor women who served donuts to soldiers during World War I, according to the statement.

Duck Donuts started the celebration early with its “12 Days of Donuts” Facebook contest, available across all stores. Now through June 2, a fan favorite doughnut will be featured daily. Customers will have the opportunity to comment on each post to be entered for a chance to win a dozen donuts.
