Thousands wait in line for free Krispy Kreme -- but there’s a catch

Traffic was backing up onto I-75

TROY, Mich. – If you were a member of the class of 2020 you could get a free dozen Krispy Kreme donuts.

In Troy, 14 Mile was a parking lot -- with traffic backing up onto I-75 for hours. The store asked former students to bring their cap and gown and identification to prove that they were a graduating senior.

Thousands waited in lines for over 2 hours for the opportunity. Students came from all over Metro Detroit after missing out on all the traditional festivities like prom and graduation.
