Market Competition and Expansion:

The first store opened in 1988 and franchising began in 1994. Today it operates more than 900 US locations and 1,300 worldwide. It dominates the frozen dessert category with a highly differentiated product and customer experience, is the most recognized premium ice cream franchise in the country, and has the highest average unit sales volume of any ice cream concept. Plus, it’s easy to run using state-of-the-art equipment.

Cold Stone keeps expanding co-branded partnerships, creating new flavors and launching themed products for holidays and blockbuster movies. An engaged owner-operator could grow sales and profitability through local marketing to residents, businesses and students, partnerships with area restaurants, schools, offices and community organizations, more celebration cake orders, catering, and festival/concert/farmers market promotions.
