Ice cream. Something we all enjoy especially in spring and during the upcoming summer. Sartell and St. Cloud both offer multiple different places to get ice cream basically any part of the day.

Cold Stone has been popular for a long time now. Popular enough that Sartell recently opened their own Cold Stone ice cream store while Saint Cloud’s Cold Stone has been open for years now. Cold Stone has become a nationwide favorite.

The first Cold Stone opened in Tempe, Arizona in 1988 by Donald and Susan Sutherland. “Cold Stone Creamery sold not just ice cream, but a concept: Customers designed their own personalized ‘dessert creations,’ choosing from basic ice cream, yogurt, and sorbet flavors and adding in fruit, candy, nuts, syrups, and other ingredients.”

Now, to compare Sartell’s Cold Stone vs Saint Cloud’s Cold Stone:  there’s not much difference between the two. They both offered the same exact menus and extra ingredients along with obviously the same prices on things.  However, there were a couple of differences.  Sartell was not as busy as Saint Cloud which means total less time spent there.  Also, Sartell had fewer people working which makes sense if it isn’t as busy. Otherwise, they are both wonderful places to stop and get a treat.
