Why is cold stone so expensive? Cold Stone Creamery's emphasis on using high-quality, fresh ingredients is one reason for its higher cost compared to other ice cream shops. This approach often leads to a higher cost, as quality ingredients are typically more expensive.

The ice cream is made fresh daily.

Cold Stone's ice cream is made on the premises every day, and is categorized as "super premium" by industry standards—meaning it contains 12% to 14% butterfat, which gives it a uniquely creamy texture that sets it apart.

First, we make your ice cream fresh inside every store. Then we take your favorite ice cream flavor, add your choice of mix-ins, and finally we chop and fold it all together using two spades on a frozen granite stone.

One of the main benefits of cold stone facials is their ability to reduce puffiness and dark circles around the eyes. The cold temperature of the stones can help to constrict blood vessels and reduce inflammation in the eye area, which can help to reduce puffiness and dark circles.

Technically, ice cream has a “best by” date and not an expiration date. This means that, when properly stored, it is probably fine to eat beyond the date printed on the carton, provided there is no evidence of spoilage. The quality, however, may suffer.

Can you refreeze cold stone ice cream? ›

It is only safe to refreeze ice cream if it is slightly melted and has been kept cold.

Aside from meat, another common victim to freezer burn is ice cream, which can turn a bit icy and scratchy when freezer burned. Like meat, it's still completely safe to eat. However, the textural changes may be more evident since you're eating a frozen treat.

It really is possible to get free samples in the mail without filling out surveys. I get freebies almost every day in my mailbox, and I never answer a survey to get them. Actually, a long survey could mean that it's a scam. It could be a company trying to get your data and sell it to the highest bidder.

Why do the crew members sing when they receive a tip? The 'Entertainment Factor' is meant to create a fun, festive atmosphere in Cold Stone Creamery stores and to set us apart from the competition. Crew members usually perform in stores, and 'auditions' may take place in addition to the interview process.

There have been allegations by independent franchises that Cold Stone's business practices have put them at a competitive disadvantage. These former franchises claim that the parent company opens locations too close to each other, requires expensive remodeling and overstates potential revenues and income.

The tipping option is usually a built-in feature of our registers; it is not a requirement with purchase.
