Sweet Celebration in Cumming: MilkShake Factory Grand Opening
The grand opening for the new MilkShake Factory will be hosted on October 11 in Cumming, GA. The new dessert destination will be owned and operated by Rick Strom, former Georgia Tech quarterback and Pittsburgh Steelers alum.
The chain is known for its fresh, creamy handspun milkshakes and small-batch premium chocolates. This new store will be a sweet addition to the Atlanta suburb community.
Rick Strom shared his excitement for the new beginning, “I wanted to bring MilkShake Factory to Cumming because this is a community where families come together.”
He adds, “With nearby schools, neighborhoods, and bustling local businesses, it felt like the perfect fit. My goal is to create a place where everyone, including kids, parents, and friends, can stop in, celebrate, and share something special.”
“Having played in Pittsburgh and spent important years of my life there, I’ve always had a special connection to the city. MilkShake Factory was founded there more than a century ago, so being able to introduce this beloved Pittsburgh brand to families here in Cumming makes the opening especially meaningful to me,” mentions Strom. Furthermore, Strom plans to add 2 more locations in the near future.
Fun Giveaways and Opening Day celebrations
On October 11, the grand opening day celebration of MilkShake Factory will take place at the new store from 12 pm to 4 pm. The event will offer exciting giveaways and an exclusive buy-one-get-free deal on all shakes, sundaes, and molten chocolate cups.
MilkShake Factory will award a very special prize basket to the very first customer in line on the opening day.
Additionally, the first 100 customers on the opening day will also receive free MilkShake Factory t-shirts, and a live DJ will play throughout the day to keep the energy level up.
Signature Ice Cream and Menu Highlights
The highlight is MilkShake Factory’s signature ice cream, made fresh daily using the Edwards family’s special recipe. It’s made fresh in-store daily for a rich, creamy texture and flavor.
The MilkShake Factory menu features a wide variety of milkshake flavors and several other local favorites like chocolate-dipped strawberries and campfire s’mores. Beyond that, the store also offers handmade sundaes, molten chocolate cups, and delightful chocolate treats.
Founded in 1914, the MilkShake Factory has remained committed to its chocolate-making roots for almost a century. The company started as a small Pittsburgh shop and has grown into a popular dessert destination. With new expansion plans, the store continues to grow and spread its classic flavors and sweet experience across the country.
