Fox Business Briefs: Krispy Kreme plans to debut ‘greenified’ versions of the chain’s donuts for St. Patrick’s Day at participating locations.
Leap Day occurs every four years on Feb. 29.

The brand announced that customers could snag a dozen original donuts for just $2.29 — a nod to the 2/29 calendar date.
