Krispy Kreme has introduced a limited-edition line of donuts featuring flavors inspired by Girl Scout cookies. The collaboration launched quietly on Monday at several Manhattan and Brooklyn locations, drawing steady lines by early afternoon.
The new donuts include variations based on Thin Mints, Samoas, and Tagalongs. At the Penn Station kiosk, a six-pack featuring the full lineup was priced at $13.49 as of Tuesday morning. Most shops were reporting steady sellouts of the Thin Mints style by mid-day. Staff at the West 23rd Street location said they expect shipments to continue daily through July, but cautioned that certain flavors may run out before closing time.
The rollout comes during a busy summer travel period, with commuters and tourists stopping into Krispy Kreme stores for the new releases. Several customers interviewed Tuesday said they learned about the collaboration through social media posts late last week. Some were buying boxes for office and picnic gatherings.
A spokesperson for Krispy Kreme said the partnership with Girl Scouts is set to last through the end of July, but may end earlier if supplies run out. The collaboration marks one of the chain’s higher-profile seasonal specials this summer. Participating locations are listed on the company’s website.
Reaction from customers has been positive, with many noting the nostalgia factor. One Midtown worker called the Tagalongs donut "the right kind of sweet for a hot day."
