Ben & Jerry's Free Cone Day Is Here! And There's No Limit on How Many Free Cones You Can Get
Customers are encouraged to hop back in line as many times as they want to get multiple free cones in any flavor they'd like
Ben & Jerry’s Free Cone Day is back!
On Wednesday, March 13, the brand announced the beloved freebie day will return on Tuesday, April 16, at scoop shops nationwide.
Ben & Jerry’s fan appreciation day knows no limits. Customers are "encouraged to get back in line as many times as they’d like" to get multiple free cones, per a release. "Experienced fans understand it’s easiest to jump back in the queue on Free Cone Day with a scoop already in hand."
Why so generous? The brand has a goal to reach 1 million free scoops served on Free Cone Day.
“[Last year] we gave out over 970,000 scoops across the globe, but we know together with our fans we can break 1 million scoops,” Dave Stever, Ben & Jerry’s CEO said in a statement. “We’re asking our fans to really bring it this year: invite their friends, family, neighbors, and help us beat our goal of 1 million scoops on Free Cone Day 2024.”
