5 things I learned about Cold Stone Creamery as a former employee

Cold Stone Creamery is the Chipotle of ice cream. It was one of the original food franchises built on the idea of creating your ideal food combination. Customers can pick from a variety of candies, nuts, and fruits to be swirled into any of their creamy flavors. Cold Stone is also known for their singing policy: if a customer tips a dollar, the whole Cold Stone crew will sing an ice cream-themed tune like "Sprinkle Sprinkle Little Star".

I was never a great singer, but working at an ice cream shop as a summer job seemed like a great idea. I worked at Cold Stone for two summers and loved mixing up ice creams for customers (plus all the free samples.) Here's a list of five things you may never have known about Cold Stone Creamery.

Cold Stone Creamery was a pretty good place to work. Being surrounded by ice cream all day at the office isn't half bad. Hopefully the next time you go into a Cold Stone, you can use one of these tidbits of information to your advantage.
