Sweet News for Greenville: Crispy Cones is Coming to Town!
Greenville is about to get a whole lot sweeter! Get ready, ice cream lovers, because the fantastic franchise Crispy Cones is setting up shop at 1143 Woodruff Road, and they’re gearing up for a grand opening that you won’t want to miss in early February 2025!
What’s All the Buzz About?
A little background for those who haven’t heard: Crispy Cones made quite a splash when it appeared on the hit TV show, Shark Tank, back in March 2023. This delightful franchise, which specializes in amazing pastry dough cones filled with gourmet soft-serve ice cream, has been riding a wave of success ever since. Founded by Jeremy and Kaitlyn Carlson, this unique dessert concept has captured the hearts (and taste buds) of many across the country.
Since its TV debut, the Carlson duo has really taken things to the next level. They struck a deal with business mogul Barbara Corcoran on the show, securing $200,000 in exchange for 20% of their business. This partnership has opened the floodgates for franchising opportunities, resulting in a jaw-dropping total of 80 new franchise locations in various cities across the United States. And rumor has it that they’re on track to reach a whopping 100 locations by 2025!
A Sweet History
But how did all this deliciousness begin? Picture this: Jeremy Carlson, an Idaho native, first tasted this mouthwatering treat while visiting the Czech Republic. Overcome with its delightful flavors, he knew he simply had to bring this concept back to his hometown. With his wife, Kaitlyn, by his side, they decided to introduce these savory cones to the world, and the rest, as they say, is history!
So, what exactly is in a Crispy Cone? Well, these aren’t just your ordinary ice cream cones. The cones are grilled rotisserie-style and then rolled in a mix of cinnamon and sugar or specialty powder. You can fill them with a selection of spreads, indulge in some gourmet soft-serve ice cream, and finish it off with a choice of toppings. It’s a sweet dream come true for both kids and adults alike!
Franchise Expansion
With eight existing locations across Idaho, Utah, Arizona, and Florida, Crispy Cones is making a significant mark in the dessert scene. They are announcing new franchising deals almost every week, and it doesn’t seem like they will be slowing down any time soon. This expansion is not only about serving delicious ice cream but also about empowering entrepreneurs who want to join them on this fantastic journey!
And for those who adore supporting local businesses, the opening of Crispy Cones in Greenville is just another example of how our city is quickly becoming a hub for unique dining options and mouthwatering experiences.
