History[edit]
Cold Stone Creamery was founded in 1988 by Donald and Susan Sutherland in Tempe, Arizona. The concept behind the company was to create a unique ice cream experience by offering made-to-order ice cream creations on a frozen granite stone. The first store was opened in Tempe, and it quickly gained popularity for its innovative approach to ice cream.
In 1995, Cold Stone Creamery began franchising its concept, allowing entrepreneurs to open their own Cold Stone Creamery stores. This led to rapid expansion, and by 2004, the company had over 1,000 locations across the United States.
In 2007, Cold Stone Creamery was acquired by Kahala Brands, a leading franchisor of quick-service restaurants. Under Kahala Brands' ownership, Cold Stone Creamery continued to expand globally, with locations in countries such as Canada, Japan, and the United Arab Emirates.
Products and Services[edit]
Cold Stone Creamery offers a wide variety of ice cream flavors, mix-ins, and toppings, allowing customers to create their own customized ice cream creations. The ice cream is made fresh in-store daily, using high-quality ingredients.
In addition to ice cream, Cold Stone Creamery also offers ice cream cakes, which can be customized with various flavors, fillings, and decorations. These cakes are a popular choice for birthdays, anniversaries, and other special occasions.
Cold Stone Creamery also serves smoothies, made with real fruit and ice cream. These refreshing beverages are a popular choice for those looking for a lighter option.
Locations[edit]
As of 2019, Cold Stone Creamery has over 1,000 locations worldwide. The majority of these locations are in the United States, but the company also has a presence in several other countries, including Canada, Mexico, and the United Arab Emirates.
