Cold Stone Creamery celebrated their grand opening at their Gulshan Avenue signature outlet yesterday at a well-attended ceremony. Two more outlets in Banani and Dhanmandi are planned in short order.
After opening a couple of outlets in Karachi and Lahore, this may be super premium ice cream brand Cold Stone Creamery's most recent outlet in the subcontinent. The Indian master franchiser (Lulu) might have opened stores already or is in the final stages as well. Long-overdue luxury treat in these hot weather countries. The number of luxury ice cream and yogurt brands have now exceeded saturation point in Dhaka (which includes long-established Movenpick)
Food Republic is a local staple in Banani (Abedin Tower) for those in the mood for either huge burgers or Thai/Chinese fare...they also have an outlet in Dhanmandi...
