Ronkonkoma Ben & Jerry's Ribbon-Cutting Rescheduled To 'Free Cone Day'

RONKONKOMA, NY — Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream's ribbon-cutting ceremony, celebrating its grand opening at the Station Yards development in Ronkonkoma, has been rescheduled for "Free Cone Day" on April 14.

It will take place at the Hawkins Avenue location at 6 p.m.

The location will be offering free ice cream from noon to 8 p.m.

Guests can stop by for a free cone, no purchase necessary, and no strings attached, the business says.

The ice cream parlor joins others on Long Island, including in Patchogue, Riverhead, and Huntington.

It joins another recent addition, Bloom, which is a florist‑led lifestyle concept offering floral design alongside spa and salon services.

Station Yards has a curated lineup of food, beverage, service, and lifestyle tenants, according to Tritec Real Estate.

It is becoming a regional destination, attracting more than 623,000 non-residential visitors in 2025, Tritec says.

The development is a 53‑acre, master‑planned development centered on the Ronkonkoma Long Island Rail Road station and is being built in multiple phases, according to Tritec.

Ben & Jerry's reflects Tritec's "ongoing commitment to curating a vibrant mix of tenants at Station Yards."

"We're proud to support their success and help them create a great destination in the center of Long Island," the company stated in a news release.
