A woman gave birth to a baby boy in a Krispy Kreme parking lot in Alabama on Wednesday, Jan. 22. The bakery chain, known for its doughnuts, is now pledging to do something special for the child's birthday every year.
The baby's father was driving the woman — who was in active labor — to the hospital when they were stopped by the "once-in-a-century" winter storm that swept across the southeastern United States, according to a Krispy Kreme spokesperson. The baby boy, named Dallas, was born healthy, and he and his mother and father are "all doing great," the spokesperson said.
The manager of the Alabama bakery location originally suggested that Krispy Kreme treat the family to free doughnuts for a year, as well as host Dallas' first birthday party.

Additionally, Dallas' birth certificate will — to the best of the bakery chain's knowledge — be the first to name Krispy Kreme as "place of birth."
