The supermarket chain Cub, present in Minnesota, starts a special donut promotion this Friday. Clientes registered in the rewards program can purchase individual donuts for just 99 cents between June 5th and 7th. The action marks Dia Nacional of Donut, celebrated annually on the first Friday of June.
The company will also deliver more than a thousand donuts to first responders as a thank you for their daily work in the communities. One of the confirmed targets is Corpo of Bombeiros #8 of St. Paul. The initiative combines a discount for the public with a gesture of recognition.
Cub stands out among supermarkets for the quality of its donuts
Muitos customers consider Cub’s donuts a well-kept secret. Diferente from the common image of supermarket products, the chain’s options earn frequent praise for their texture and freshness. The lighting in the stores and the product section do not deliver the quality that comes out of the in-house bakery’s oven.
Funcionários prepare items daily in the units. Clientes report that the product exceeds expectations, especially in the classic flavors with simple topping. This year’s promotion aims to make this item even more accessible during the themed holiday.
Dia Nacional of Donut has origins linked to soldiers in Primeira Guerra
The holiday emerged in 1938 on the initiative of Exército of Salvação. Voluntárias served donuts to soldiers in Chicago as a form of support during Primeira Guerra Mundial. The date honors this gesture and celebrates the consumption of sweets throughout the country.
- Donuts are fried or baked in bakeries and fast-food chains
- Variedades include versions with icing, filling and colored toppings
- Cadeias as Dunkin’ and Krispy Kreme also launch shares on the same day
- Supermercados takes the opportunity to highlight products from their own bakery
The tradition spread and today has commercial editions in several states. In 2026, Dia Nacional of Donut falls on June 5th.
Promoção of Cub lasts three days and requires registration for rewards
Interessados must be enrolled in the network’s rewards program. The 99-cent discount applies to select individual donuts at participating stores. The offer continues until Sunday, June 7, or while supplies last.
Cub reinforces that the quality remains the same. Clientes can choose between traditional flavors or options of the day. The action takes place during a period of greater movement in the units’ bakeries.
Doação to first responders strengthens ties with local communities
Além of the promotional sale, the company prepares delivery of more than a thousand donuts. Equipes will take the products directly to fire stations and other institutions. The gesture aims to recognize the service provided daily by these professionals.
In a statement, Cub highlighted the importance of supporting those who work on the front lines. The initiative takes place simultaneously with the promotion open to the public. Moradores in the region can find the donuts in several stores across the state.
Outras networks also participate in Dia Nacional’s Donut
The holiday mobilizes several food brands. Algumas offer free donuts with drink purchases, while others reduce prices on packages. Cub enters the date with a double discount and donation strategy.
Consumidores usually circulate between points of sale in search of the best conditions. Especialistas in retail see the period as an opportunity to increase traffic in physical stores. The date, although informal, gains commercial strength year after year.
