The BOGO is available from open to close at participating locations. Guests can choose from a free cone or cup of the iconic soft serve ice cream.

With all the flavors available, guests might have difficulty narrowing down the options. Of course, the legacy twist is a lovely homage to the brand’s founder. The classic vanilla and chocolate combination is always a favorite.
