The mother gave birth to her son this week in Alabama after a major winter storm. The Krispy Kreme donut company is offering a special deal to a baby who was born in one of the shop’s parking lots. Bennet and the baby’s father, Keon Mitchell, were forced to stop at the bakery because the mother’s contractions became more frequent. The initial drive to the hospital was also taking too long due to the icy roads in the city after a major snowstorm.
The Krispy Kreme shop wasn’t yet open when Dallas made his appearance in the parking lot. The company, however, is still giving Mitchell, Bennett and Baby Dallas a sweet deal: Free donuts for a year from the store in Dothan. In addition, they offered to host Dallas’ first birthday party in 2026, WTVY reported.
“Krispy Kreme is sweetening the family’s a-glaze-ing celebration by throwing Dallas a birthday party every year until he’s all grown up!” said a spokesperson for the company, known for its glazed donuts. “I felt the baby’s head at the red light. So once we got into the Krispy Kreme parking lot, I couldn’t stop pushing then I saw him sliding out, and I’m like, ‘Come grab him, come grab him!” she said.
Although the couple had contacted 911 once they got to Krispy Kreme, Dallas was born before the paramedics arrived. “It is an experience to remember, it definitely is,” the mom added. Mitchell also quipped about how he managed to handle the unexpected birth at a Krispy Kreme.
