NCB’s Client, Cold Stone Creamery, Focuses on Growth and Expansion.
National Commercial Brokers is proud of our client, Cold Stone Creamery, for the continuation of expanding their franchise throughout the US. The beloved American franchise known for their made-to-order delicious premium ice cream packed with a choice of toppings like fruit, candy and nuts mixed on a frozen granite stone is on the rise for greater expansion.
Cold Stone Creamery’s latest expansion to the New England area includes store locations in Westford, MA and West Lebanon, NH. The West Lebanon location also features Planet Smoothie, a customizable smoothie franchise which works well with Cold Stone Creamery in providing more delectable options for customers to choose from.
Cold Stone Creamery opened 42 new stores in 2025 and is expecting 20-25 additional locations to open by the end of the year. Cold Stone Creamery received recognition for climbing to #156 on Entrepreneur’s 2025 Franchise 500 list, which is impressive for the brand. This leap in ranking demonstrates brand stability, financial perseverance and support in the franchise. An ice cream shop is a “dime a dozen”, but Cold Stone Creamery proves that their adored product remains successful since opening in 1988.
Cold Stone Creamery’s adaptation to technological advancements in their business led to a steady path in digital sales with online ordering. Since 2020, Cold Stone Creamery became the first national concept to have a full menu option for online ordering. The company feels accomplished in both its sales performance and in the satisfaction of customers’ experience, reflecting success from every angle of consumerism.
Cold Stone Creamery is in a position for future growth throughout the US. With strong sales and the demand for delicious customizable ice cream, Cold Stone Creamery can expect aspiring entrepreneurs to expand their position in the industry with proven statistics and positive outcomes in pursuit of further growth. We are proud to represent Cold Stone Creamery, and we wish them the best of luck through their expansion!
