Here are three reasons why you should invest in a Cold Stone franchise:
Cold Stone Creamery is beloved and acclaimed by millions in America and around the world
When customers walk into one of the 1,000+ Cold Stone Creamery® locations around the world, they know they’re in for more than a treat — they’re in for a memorable experience. Our super-premium ice cream is made fresh, our endless array of toppings allows for total customization, and the store’s lively, enthusiastic crew members sing and cheer as they serve up on delicious treats!
We call this The Ultimate Ice Cream Experience. Cold Stone Creamery is unique to other ice cream franchise concepts because our ice cream is made fresh in store locations. This cannot be overstated. Other brands will ship their product in prepackaged vats and tubs, allowing their ice cream to sit frozen for days and often weeks, while Cold Stone Creamery is, in fact, a creamery! We produce all of the ice cream in store locations, using the finest ingredients and state-of-the-art, easy-to-use ice cream machines. Every dip of our brand’s ice cream meets customer’s high standards for taste, consistency and texture. This is why our brand has captured the hearts of millions of fans around the world.
“Cold Stone Creamery is unique in the ice cream franchise space, because we make our ice cream in-house,” says Dr. Maya Warren, Tastemaster™ with Cold Stone Creamery. “When our customers come to us, they’re getting ice cream that has been made for them in that store. Our product is exceptional, and that is evident in the fact that millions of people around the world love the experience they get at their local Cold Stone Creamery — and that number grows every day. The best part about Cold Stone Creamery is that we get to make people happy. If someone comes in having a bad day, they’re going to leave us with a smile. If someone comes to us on a good day, they’re going to go on and have a better day. That is what Cold Stone Creamery is all about.”
