History of Free Cone Day
Initiated in 1979, Free Cone Day has served as a heartfelt thank-you from Ben & Jerry’s to the community. It celebrates the growth of the brand from its humble beginnings as a single Scoop Shop in a converted gas station in Burlington, Vermont, to its current status as a favorite ice cream brand around the globe.
Originally introduced by co-founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield as a way to commemorate their survival of the first winter in Vermont, this cherished tradition now sees fans lining up in over 35 countries for free scoops of their beloved flavors.
