Cold Rock Ice Creamery

Cold Rock Ice Creamery is an Australian ice cream parlor chain, specialising in ice cream mixed with a variety of ingredients on a frozen stone. The company was founded in 1996 in Aspley, a suburb of Brisbane, and has since expanded to over 90 locations across Australia, as well as internationally.

History[edit | edit source]

The first Cold Rock Ice Creamery was opened in 1996 in Aspley, a suburb of Brisbane. The concept of the store was to provide a unique ice cream experience, where customers could choose from a variety of ice cream flavours and mix-ins, which would then be combined on a frozen stone. This concept proved to be popular, and the company quickly expanded across Australia.

In 2002, Cold Rock Ice Creamery was acquired by the Franchised Food Company, a large Australian food franchising company. Under the new ownership, the company continued to expand, both within Australia and internationally.

Products and Services[edit | edit source]

Cold Rock Ice Creamery offers a wide range of ice cream flavours, which customers can customise with a variety of mix-ins. The mix-ins, which include fruits, nuts, candies, and baked goods, are mixed into the ice cream on a frozen stone, giving the company its name.

In addition to ice cream, Cold Rock Ice Creamery also offers a range of other products, including ice cream cakes, milkshakes, and smoothies. The company also offers catering services for events and parties.

International Expansion[edit | edit source]

Cold Rock Ice Creamery has expanded internationally, with stores in several countries, including New Zealand, China, and the United Arab Emirates. The company's international expansion has been driven by its unique product offering and strong brand recognition.
