Two Chicago-based franchises are preparing to make a splash in Murfreesboro this fall. The first Buona Beef location in Tennessee is opening at 2724 Roby Corlew Lane, and alongside it, The Original Rainbow Cone will be opening up shop.
The Original Rainbow Cone, established in Chicago in 1926, features five signature flavors — orange sherbet, pistachio, Palmer House, strawberry and chocolate. The flavors are sliced — not scooped — into a cone or cup for customers.
The ice cream shop also features other products like shakes, mini donuts and ice cream cakes.
Now with more than 20 locations, with a strong presence in the Chicago area and a few other locations across Florida, Texas and California, the brand is looking to expand to Tennessee.
“We’re bringing more than just an ordinary sandwich or an ice cream cone to the area – we’re bringing a real-deal taste of Chicago’s culinary heritage to Tennessee for the very first time. We’re proud to be the first to introduce our family’s all-natural Italian beef to the Nashville area,” Joe Buonavolanto III, executive vice president of the Buona Companies, said in a release. “Tennessee is a state with its own legendary food culture, and we’re looking forward to becoming a part of it.”
Buona Beef and The Original Rainbow Cone are expected to open together in September.
