Ben & Jerry's Free Cone Day Set For April: See List Of Participating CA Locations

Ben & Jerry's annual Free Cone Day is right around the corner.

Scoop Shops around the world will offer free ice cream from noon to 8 p.m. on April 14.

Customers have lined up to score a free scoop of Ben & Jerry's since 1979, when the very first Free Cone Day was celebrated at a renovated gas station in Burlington, Vermont. The day serves as a "thank you" from the ice cream company for the years of visits and support from customers.

Since the first celebration, Free Cone Day has spread to Ben & Jerry's shops worldwide.

Customers can choose from a variety of different classic flavors including Chunky Monkey, Cherry Garcia, Cookie Dough and Strawberry Cheesecake. Those who'd rather skip the cone can opt to get their free scoop in a cup.
