Cold Stone Activities

Cold Stone offers three sizes, "Like It," "Love It" and "Gotta Have It." Founded in 1988 by Donald and Susan Sutherland, Cold Stone Creamery had more than 1350 stores worldwide by 2006, with plans for even greater expansion. Aside from stopping in for a sweet treat of hand mixed ice cream, patrons can participate in other events held at, or sponsored by, various Cold Stone Creamery locations

Part of the allure of Cold Stone Creamery is that the staff mixes toppings into your ice cream right before your very eyes. The ice cream and toppings are folded together on a cold slab before the treat is placed in a cup or cone for you to enjoy. If you are having a party or event, you can hire staff from your local Cold Stone Creamery to attend the event and give you the in-store experience in your home or at the location of your event. Simply contact your local store for specific details and pricing information.

Sure Cold Stone Creamery is known for its variety of ice cream and cupcakes. However, certain locations also custom design wedding cakes, and by customize they do not simply mean placing your name on the cake. The staff at your local Cold Stone Creamery will work with you to come up with a cake that specifically fits the needs and desires of your wedding event. Call your local Cold Stone Creamery to see if they participate in designing custom wedding cakes.

This is ideal for corporate team building or birthday parties. Contact your local Cold Stone Creamery and see if they are one of the locations that participates in giving tours. People attending will get to go in the back and see how the ice cream is made fresh. Additionally, each person will get to mix their very own ice cream as if they were actually a Cold Stone employee. Check with your local location as there are some costs involved. Additionally, a time will need to be scheduled during off-hours when the location is not quite as busy.

This activity is great for a group of people who are stopping by Cold Stone Creamery for a treat. Amongst yourselves, organize a contest for who can create the best new flavor using the ingredients Cold Stone has to offer. Give other awards for "Most Inventive," "Most Chocolaty," "Most Daring" and even "Worst Flavor of the Day." Then, using clean spoons, allow each person in your group to taste the various ice creams and take a vote amongst yourselves. The prize for the winners can be that someone else pays for their sweet treat.
