darin3 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 It's all about the location. My brother opened up 4 stores in the Denver area a few years ago. Other than one store, they don't do very good business and they are struggling right now. I guess high priced ice cream in a cold climate isn't the best combonation. 1282916[/snapback] Yeah not sure about the whole cold climate thing; I'm in Southern California. But you're right - as with most franchises - location is key. I've seen them work best when they're paired with a food user equivalent such as Quizno's, Subway, Baja Fresh, Chipotle, etc. Consumers that go to those types of "semi-fast food" joints are more inclined to go to Coldstone. Having a standalone Coldstone in a strip mall with no other food users is most likely gonna flop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brentastic Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 OMG, I just drove by the Cold Stone here in Chicago as I was going to a restaurant to eat. I remembered this thread and told my GF that we're hitting it up after we eat. After dinner I stopped by as promised and I tried a few of the flavors. All were good, but I had my eyes on the cake batter the entire time. For some reason I imagined it being chocolate (I'm a vanilla guy) so I was elated when I saw that it was vanilla cake batter. OMG is this stuff tremendous!! Loaf, I can't thank you enough for starting this thread and my new apparent affair with cake batter ice cream. Peace brent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDFFFreak Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 By the way, I heard that they had to pull Cake Batter Ice Cream because of an issue with raw eggs. Good to see it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
