The deal comes as the chain celebrates four years of serving breakfast.

“As we celebrate our four-year breakfast anniversary with this new product, we’re offering sweet deals starting on Leap Day – a day that only comes around every four years,” Lindsay Radkoski, U.S. chief marketing officer for The Wendy’s Company, said in a statement.

Krispy Kreme announced Monday that customers can get a dozen original glazed doughnuts for $2.29 with the purchase of any regularly priced dozen.
