MilkShake Factory to Celebrate Grand Opening in Milton
MilkShake Factory finally made its way to Georgia with its very first location at 12660 Crabapple Rd Ste 110, Milton, GA 30004. Franchise owners Josh and Serena Stull selected the location for its welcoming atmosphere and growing reputation as a family destination.
The brand is known for its handspun milkshakes and premium chocolates, making it a fan favorite dessert destination. The new store opens daily from 12 pm to 10 pm.
“Crabapple Market is the perfect home for MilkShake Factory because it’s a place where families naturally gather,” said Josh Stull. “We’ve watched this community grow, and we wanted to bring something special to match that energy. Our goal is to create a destination for everyday celebrations, where everyone can enjoy a little indulgence.”
Dana Edwards Manatos, Founder & CEO of MilkShake Factory, added, “Georgia is an exciting market for MilkShake Factory, and Milton marks an important step in our expansion. Josh and Serena have a passion for creating community connections, and this new store will be a perfect place for families to gather, celebrate, and enjoy our handcrafted milkshakes and chocolates.”
