i'm not just getting for myself. i have to get for a party and i dont think they will give me a few dozen donuts for free.
they happen to be the cheapest i found so far. $.50 per donut.
Not sure about the ones they are selling,  but i was told the free ones aren't 'today' fresh. They're out of the freezer.

Just called the owner he told me since Chanukkah began Motzei Shabbos his suppliers couldn't fulfill the demand without using frozen donuts. He said it took them till yesterday to be able to bring production up to demand levels and as of today all donuts are from the same day and 100% fresh!

He appreciates your understanding and hopes you enjoy the fresh donuts!

Which part? The free doughnuts?

@hocker
It makes sense. Last year they gave out 48,000 doughnuts!

Just about every store agrees to that! What expense to get the customer into the store, and whether the customer return a second time etc. that must be calculated on a case per case basis. From the fact that he is continuing the promo after distributing 48k donuts last year it seems it is worth it.

Does anybody know what the story is with the citi bank branch in brick? (On the corner of cedarbridge and route 70). I went there last week and the front windows were all covered and there was a sign on the front door with directions to the next nearest branch.

Did they close for good? Is it just for renovations?

I don't think the branch has a number and the reps at the central 800 number are clueless.
