Free Cone Day at Ben & Jerry’s is today!
Ice cream lovers, rejoice – it’s Free Cone Day at Ben & Jerry’s!
The Naperville location at 120 Water Street is one of hundreds taking part in this tradition launched by the company in 1979 at its first shop in Burlington, Vermont.
Patrons can pop by on Tuesday, April 8, between noon and 8 p.m. for a free scoop of ice cream. As part of a partnership with the Alive Center in Naperville, for a $2 donation to their cause to empower local teens, guests can enjoy their ice cream in a waffle cone.
And bonus – Ben & Jerry’s says customers can get back in line as many times as they’d like.
