History

Established in 2005.

The company was co-​founded in 1988 by Susan and Donald Sutherland who sought ice cream that was neither hard-​packed nor soft-​serve. Publicity materials describe it as «smooth and creamy super-​premium ice cream.»

The company uses in-​store made ice cream that is combined with mix-​ins, candy or other items that is folded into the ice cream to make a new flavor. Cold Stone’s name comes from the frozen granite stone, used to mix «mix-​ins»: candy, nuts, or other edibles into various flavors of ice creams.

Almost 1,400 franchises are in operation today. Cold Stone Creamery is now the sixth-​best-​selling brand of ice cream in the U.S. and now operates stores worldwide. The company was also named the 11th fastest-​growing franchise by Entrepreneur Magazine in January 2006.

In May 2007, Cold Stone Creamery merged with Kahala Corp to form the company Kahala-​Cold Stone, which collectively owns 13 brands.

New Orleanian John Haspel, with wife Amy, opened Store #1551 in August 2006.
