- The stores will be located at Nungambakkam
(Khader Nawaz Khan Road) and Anna Nagar (VR Chennai)
- Tablez targets to open 150 stores of the
popular American ice-cream brand in India by 2022.
Tablez, the organised retail
arm of LuLu Group International, is ringing in the New Year with the opening of
two new outlets of Cold Stone Creamery,
the iconic American ice cream brand, at Nungambakkam, KNK Road and VR Chennai, Anna Nagar in Chennai, today. These
are the 2nd and 3rd stores of Cold Stone Creamery in
Chennai, with the first having opened last year at Phoenix Market City,
Velachery Road.
With the completion
of 30 years in 2018 and its presence in 30 countries worldwide, Cold Stone
Creamery is a force to reckon within the ice-cream industry. A pioneer in
fresh, hand-crafted ice-cream with delicious ingredients, Cold Stone Creamery
has been a trend-setter. It is well known for its innovations and its
exceptional style of customer service, especially in crafting the freshest,
premium and 100 percent vegetarian ice-cream products.
Speaking on the launch, Mr. Adeeb Ahamed, Managing Director,
Tablez said, "Tablez is delighted to open two new stores
here in Chennai. With Cold Stone Creamery, we hope to satisfy the need for
freshly made, flavourful ice-cream creations, combined with a one-of-a-kind
experience for the residents of this wonderful city.”
He further
added, “We have seen great success with the brand in Chennai, Bengaluru, Delhi,
Pune and Kochi so far. We are looking to further expand across India to include
tier 2 and tier 3 cities as well. By 2022, we expect India to have at least 150
Cold Stone Creamery outlets.”
Cold Stone Creamery offers a perfect
blend of Indian elegance and international standards with its amazing in-store
experience. It helps customers indulge in a wide spectrum of innovative
flavours of the freshest ice-cream. Moreover, customers can tailor their ice-cream
experience at the store. Cold Stone Creamery’s trained crew guide the customers
through different aspects of the experience, right from choosing the flavour
from the menu and suggesting the mix-ins, to choosing the kind of cone/cup to
help them give you the ‘Ultimate ice-cream experience’. Crew members at
Cold Stone Creamery are well trained in not just serving ice cream, but they
also break into songs, dance and sometimes juggle the ice-cream to entertain
their guests. Cold Stone’s delicate ‘chop-chop-fold-fold’ process ensures quick
and gentle mixing to prevent the escape of air from the ice-cream.
Cold Stone Creamery has “Signature
Creations” and a “Create Your Own” concept where the ice-cream is customised
for each guest by combining a variety of mix-ins on a frozen granite stone. The
chosen flavour-scoops are put on the slab and the mix-ins - which can be of a
variety of nuts, chocolates, candies, fruits - depending on the choice of the customer,
are mixed with the ice cream to create a blended treat for everyone. The store
also offers signature ice cream cakes, shakes, smoothies and sorbets.
