I kid you not.
So to celebrate the opening of the Magnificent Mile flagship store at 181 N. Michigan Ave. — Stan’s is taking it to the next level.
Of those 100 boxes — 99 of them will contain glazed donuts plus other prizes but only one of the boxes will hold a donut drenched in edible gold leaf, and whoever has their hands on the gold donut — will win free donuts for life. Step aside Willy Wonka, Stan’s got you beat.
The store will host a grand opening celebration on December 30th [thought the actual open date will be on the 23rd according to TimeOut Chicago] and per usual, the first 100 guests in line when the store opens its doors on 6 a.m. Saturday, December 30th — will receive a free boxed donut.
