The Benefits of Owning Multiple Ice Cream Businesses
Owning several Cold Stone Creamery locations allows franchisees to broaden their impact in the community and strengthen their financial foundation. Each new store builds on the reputation and customer loyalty established by the first, fostering a network of thriving ice cream businesses that reflect our brand’s commitment to quality and joy.
We provide continued support through collaborative initiatives, such as regular training sessions and franchisee conferences, where multi-unit owners can share insights and learn from peers. This network cultivates a culture of shared growth, empowering franchisees to refine and optimize their approach as they expand.
