Ice cream is undoubtedly sweet, but you know what’s even sweeter? Free ice cream! Fortunately for Chicagoans, Ben & Jerry’s will be offering free scoops of ice cream at participating stores during Free Cone Day in Chicago this April, continuing a beloved tradition. The company has celebrated Free Cone Day since 1979, just a year after it was founded.
This event is a way for Ben & Jerry’s to give back to the Burlington, Vermont community, which helped the company grow from a single Scoop Shop in a renovated gas station into one of the most beloved ice cream brands in the world.
Dave Stever, Ben & Jerry’s CEO, said:
Free Cone Day has always been about gratitude – we want to thank our fans for being the best fans in the world with free ice cream and a moment of pure joy.
