As of the start of October, Hurts Donut is now offering national donut deliveries but those who frighten easily will want to be aware that this is a Scary Clown Delivery service.
In the weeks leading up to Halloween, consumers will be able to have donuts hand-delivered by a clown that resembles Pennywise from 'It,' complete with a bunch of red balloons, to a person of their choosing. The service costs $5 in addition to the cost of a box of Hurts Donuts and the creepy clown will surely leave recipients spooked.
Throughout the year, Hurts Donut also offers other seasonally appropriate delivery services for its treats, such as its Cupid Delivery for Valentine's Day, which is far less unsettling than being advanced upon by a clown showing its teeth.
