Krispy Kreme in Edinburgh will be giving out free doughnuts at refurbished Hermiston Gait store

Krispy Kreme will be giving out free doughnuts at the re-launch of their Hermiston Gait store next weekend.

The shop has been closed for refurbishment in recent times but will be back open with a new look at 9am next Saturday (30 March).

The newly refurbed store will continue to give customers a look at how their favourite treats are made, but from now on they'll also be able to taste the doughnuts, fresh off the manufacturing rack, for free between 7pm and 8pm Monday to Friday. 

They'll have 16 different varieties on offer along with their popular milkshakes and coffees.

In addition, there will be a new feature which allows people to personalise their doughnuts with hand-iced messages.

Victor Hugo deli are bringing their ridiculous, jaw-breaking sandwiches to George Street in Edinburgh 

To celebrate the relaunch they'll be hosting the 'Krispy Kreme Carnival' on 30 March with ten hours of fun.

After opening they'll be dishing out free warm doughnuts to customers right up to 12pm. There will also be face painting, a caricaturist and even a Krispy Kreme DJ on hand to provide the soundtrack.

To round off the day they'll then be handing out freshly-baked doughnuts once more between 5pm to 8pm.

There will also be opportunities to win prizes with goodies for the first three people in line on the opening morning, and other treats to be won throughout the day.

Craig Evans of Krispy Kreme said: "As the only Krispy Kreme store in Edinburgh and the hub for so many of our stores in Scotland, we're really excited to be unveiling the store's brand new look, and look forward to celebrating with all of our dedicated fans at our special opening day carnival.

"We're all about giving and to further celebrate the refurbishment and treat our fans, we'll also be dishing out tonnes of FREE warm doughnuts during our extended Hotlight Happy Hour on opening day."
