  • A subsidiary of Kahala Corp., Cold Stone Creamery is a chain of ice cream shops famous for using a cold slab of granite for mixing flavors and toppings. Cold Stone operates over 1,400 parlors across the United States, China, Japan, Korea, and Puerto Rico. The first location was opened in 1988, by co-founders Donald and Susan Sutherland in Tempe, Arizona. Customers create their own concoctions by choosing from a variety of ice cream, sorbet, and yogurt flavors. The flavors are then mixed on a cold stone along with any desired mix-ins, such as candy, nuts, and cookies. Cold Stone is also known for its cheerful staff, who sing a song every time a customer leaves a tip.
