Rainbow Cone, a popular Chicago-based ice cream franchise for people who can't decide what flavor to order, will soon open a new location in Tampa Bay.
This morning, the company announced ambitious plans to expand into Florida in 2024, with new locations coming to West Palm Beach, Tampa Bay, Orlando, and a new Key West outpost opening in March.
"We are excited about the growth of our franchise program in Florida," says Lynn Sapp, third generation owner of The Original Rainbow Cone in a statement. "The responses we have received from the Florida communities have been incredible, and we are confident that Key West will be no exception."
Founded in 1926, Rainbow Cone specializes in their "world famous" five flavor "Rainbow Cone," which features orange sherbet, pistachio, Palmer House, strawberry, and chocolate flavors "sliced" on top of each other.
The menu also spans a variety of sundaes, cakes, doughnuts and milkshakes.
The company did not give any specifics on exactly where or when the new Florida locations will debut. But if you can't wait, Rainbow Cone's first Florida location opened in Bradenton last September.
