Gourmet milkshake shop opening first Cincinnati-area store
Another Pennsylvania-based company is moving into Greater Cincinnati, but it's not a convenience store chain. It's a dessert shop with milkshakes, ice cream and small-batch chocolates.
MilkShake Factory opens its first Cincinnati-area store in Mason at 2144 Kings Mills Road on May 31. The store will celebrate its grand opening with music and a buy-one-get-one free offer on all shakes, sundaes and molten cups from noon to 4 p.m.
MilkShake Factory is known for its gourmet milkshakes, with flavors like Chocolate Dipped Strawberry, Campfire S'mores and Cookie Jar. The brand also offers chocolate barks, ice cream sundaes and dairy-free shakes.
The Mason store is owned by franchisees husband-and-wife Tracy and Joe Carter. It also marks an expansion into Ohio for the Pittsburgh-headquartered company.
'With so many families, attractions, and visitors passing through Mason, we saw a real opportunity to bring something special to the area,' Tracy Carter said in an emailed statement. 'MilkShake Factory is all about creating joyful moments, and we're excited to become part of the community's everyday celebrations.'
A MilkShake Factory is also set to open in Columbus this weekend, with two more stores planned for elsewhere in Ohio.
