Cold Stone Creamery

Our ice cream is better because we make it fresh every day in every store, which puts Cold Stone® completely in a class of its own.

Our founders, Donald and Susan Sutherland, scoured the world in search of the perfect ice cream. Not surprisingly, they found not all ice cream is created equal. From traditional hard-packed ice cream to soft serve varieties, until Donald and Susan pursued their "Ice Cream Dream"- we were stuck with some pretty disappointing alternatives. But after 1988, and the opening of the first Cold Stone Creamery® in Tempe, Arizona, things changed. The Sutherlands fundamentally redefined ice cream and the world was never the same.
