Parlor Doughnuts is celebrating National Doughnut Day on Friday, June 5, 2026, by giving guests a free French Toast Doughnut with any purchase at all Parlor locations nationwide, in-shop only.
Known for its Famous Layered Doughnuts and craft coffee, Parlor Doughnuts is inviting guests to celebrate the sweetest holiday of the year with one of the brand’s most beloved menu items. The French Toast Doughnut, Parlor’s most popular doughnut, features the brand’s signature flaky layered dough topped with maple glaze, cinnamon sugar, and a drizzle of icing.
National Doughnut Day has roots dating back to 1938, when The Salvation Army established the holiday to honor the “Doughnut Lassies” who were women volunteers that served fresh doughnuts to soldiers during World War I. The treats became a symbol of comfort and morale for troops overseas and helped popularize doughnuts across the United States.
The National Doughnut Day offer is valid Friday, June 5, 2026, at all participating Parlor Doughnuts locations. Guests will receive one free French Toast Doughnut with any purchase while supplies last, in-shop only.

The city of North Myrtle Beach is advising residents to voluntarily reduce their water usage.
The request comes amid severe drought conditions across the area. The city is encouraging people to limit unnecessary water use, reduce outdoor watering and irrigation when possible, adjust irrigation times and avoid watering during the hottest parts of the day.
Officials are also asking residents to check for leaks and repair them promptly as well as turn off hoses and faucets when not in use. The city says to offset the demand from sprinkler systems, eliminate irrigating on Monday and avoid irrigating between 6-9am.
The city also said odd-number houses should irrigate on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Meanwhile, even-number houses should irrigate on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.
The city is joining Darlington and Florence which have also asked their residents to reduce their usage as well.

Around 12:30pm on May 23, two boats crashed along the Sampit River near Georgetown. 49-year-old Wendell Holbert III of Conway and 50-year-old Eric Gobbett were the drivers.
Both vessels were traveling near the middle of the river before the collision.

The recall covers certain 2021-2026 Bronco Sport and 2022-026 Maverick models. It was placed due to a potential manufacturing defect originating at the vehicle assembly plant where the front lower control arm ball joints may have been incorrectly installed or repaired.
