Experts in Innovations: if it has anything to do with ice-cream, it has everything to do with Cold Stone Creamery. From unique ice-cream creations to smoothies, cakes, & shakes - nobody serves up the ultimate indulgence like Cold Stone. Through almost 20 years of serving up the finest ice-cream, some things have certainly changed. And frankly, some things haven't. Ever since we opened our first store back in 1988, we've been serving up what we refer to as Creations. In other words, if you want it in your ice-cream - you get it. By mixing nuts, fruits and candy into our smooth and creamy ice-cream on a frozen granite stone (around here, we call it "the stone") we're actually more like ice-cream artists.
