Cold Stone Creamery has unveiled its strategic plans to expand its presence in Oklahoma City and Tulsa. These two cities, the largest in the state, are seen as ideal markets for the brand's continued growth.
Oklahoma City and Tulsa have been experiencing significant economic development, creating jobs, expanding regionally, and offering diverse business opportunities to their communities. This, combined with the ice cream industry's substantial influence on the U.S. economy — generating nearly $2B in direct wages — presents a unique opportunity for business growth in these cities using Cold Stone Creamery's proven business model.
With over 30 years of experience in the thriving ice cream industry and more than 1,000 locations, Cold Stone Creamery has refined a sustainable model designed for ease and scalability. The company has a strong reputation in Oklahoma, built by franchise partners prioritizing quality, service, and community.
There are two Cold Stone Creamery locations in Oklahoma, with more due to open soon. The franchise business model is scalable and efficient, focusing on high-quality products, exceptional service, and expert support. Franchise owners can expect a flexible business model, in-store creamery facilities for premium product creation, and consistent support with access to new tools and resources.
The company seeks potential franchisees to lead the proposed expansion in Oklahoma City and Tulsa. Eligible candidates range from first-time owners to experienced investors with diverse business portfolios. The initial franchise fee to start a new traditional Cold Stone Creamery franchise is $27,000.
