LOUISVILLE, Ky. -‐ A new, limited-time-only doughnut treat debuted at Thorntons Inc. convenience stores this week, easing customers in fall.
The new salted-caramel doughnut is available through Oct. 6 at Thorntons c-store locations in Lexington and Louisville, Ky., Southern Indiana, Chicago and central Illinois.
The salted-caramel doughnut begins like Thorntons’ traditional glazed doughnuts, with handmade yeast dough cut into a ring and fried. The ring then travels under a “waterfall of smooth glaze” and “takes a dip in buttery caramel icing,” according to the company. Finally, a touch of sea salt is sprinkled on top.
All Thornton doughnuts are made fresh and delivered daily to each c-store.
Based in Louisville, Ky., Thorntons Inc. operates 182 gasoline and convenience stores, car washes and travel plazas in six states: Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee and Florida.
