According to a recent press release, Chicago’s Original Rainbow Cone is eyeing an upcoming Orlando location after opening one in Key West. Given the early stage of the project, the corresponding franchisee has not been announced.
“Rainbow Cone was founded in 1926 by ‘Grandpa Joe’ Sapp, who was never satisfied with just one ice cream flavor and instead stacked five delicious options on a single cone for a one-of-a-kind culinary classic,” the recent press release states.
“The original shop’s notorious pink building on Western Avenue in Chicago has been a staple in the city since it first opened its doors nearly a century ago, with hundreds of thousands of dedicated customers from around the world.”
“We are excited about the growth of our franchise program in Florida,” says Lynn Sapp, third-generation owner of The Original Rainbow Cone. “The responses we have received from the Florida communities have been incredible, and we are confident that Key West will be no exception.”
“As a testament to its exceptional popularity, Rainbow Cone was recently voted as the top ice cream shop in Chicago by FOX Chicago, affirming its status as a beloved and successful ice cream destination. For entrepreneurs looking for a smart and rewarding franchise opportunity, Rainbow Cone offers a time-tested concept with a devoted fan base and a legacy.”
“Furthermore, Rainbow Cone is exploring exciting possibilities to expand its reach, including an ice cream truck tour from Chicago to Florida in the near future. Stay tuned for more updates and surprises!”
