Cold Stone Creamery

Description

Cold Stone Creamery is an ice-cream parlor chain based in Scottsdale, Arizona, United States. Co-founded in 1988 by Susan and Donald Sutherland who sought ice cream that was neither hard-packed nor soft-serve Cold Stone Creamery opened its first store that year in Tempe, Arizona.

Cold Stone's name comes from the frozen granite stone used to mix candy, nuts, or other toppings into simple-flavor ice creams such as French Vanilla and Strawberry; custom flavors, such as Sweet Cream and Cake Batter; and seasonal flavors, such as Pumpkin and Dark Chocolate Peppermint. The corporation has a list of "Cold Stone Originals," for example, Peanut Butter Cup Perfection, which is made from chocolate ice cream and "mix-ins" of peanut butter, Reese’s® Peanut Butter Cups, and fudge.[1]

In the spirit of joviality, and to encourage customers to give tips to hard-working and friendly employees, Cold Stone instructs employees to sing a Cold Stone song, usually to the tune of recognizable melodies such as "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" or "Bingo," when a customer places money in the tip jar.
