To celebrate on Friday, the 41 stores throughout the state of Michigan will be treating customers to a number of special offers and activities. Also, each store will give away free slices of ice cream cake and samples from the new better-for-you smoothie line.

The first Cold Stone Creamery opened in Grand Rapids, Mich. in 2002. It is estimated since that time the Cold Stone Creamery stores of Michigan have produced over 1.3 million gallons of ice cream and served up more than 2.5 million waffle bowls. Each store employs approximately 20 crew members, thus creating jobs for over 800 individuals within the state.
