Giving Thanks for 30 Legendairy Years
 
On 29th April 2008 we celebrated our 30th birthday year with Free Cone Day. The party was a huge hit, with Ben & Jerry’s scoop shops across the UK - and the world - serving up thousands of scoops, absolutely free!
 
Free Cone Day was first celebrated back in 1979, in the original Ben & Jerry’s Scoop Shop - a dilapidated gas station in Burlington, Vermont. The day was created to thank loyal customers for their support during Ben & Jerry’s first year in business.
 
In keeping with one of Ben & Jerry’s original mottos - "Business has a responsibility to give back to the community" - each Ben & Jerry’s Scoop Shop elected a local charity and collected donations on the day.
 
See you at Free Cone Day 2009!
