CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Krispy Kreme is tapping its "strategic doughnut reserve" in an effort to offset high gas prices for Americans.
The sweet treat chain announced this week that it will sell a dozen original glazed doughnuts for the average U.S. price of a gallon of regular gas.
The offer will happen on Wednesdays from April 13 through May 4.Prices at the pump and energy markets worldwide have spiked in recent weeks amid Russia’s war with Ukraine.
Last month, President Joe Biden announced the U.S. would release 1 million barrels of oil per day from the nation’s strategic petroleum reserve over the next six months in an effort to tame gas prices.
