Cold Stone Creamery plans a comeback in Oswego

Shaw Local

Known for its freshly made ice cream, hand-crafted sundaes, milkshakes and ice cream cakes, Cold Stone Creamery is headed back to Oswego.

Cold Stone Creamery is planning to open later this year at 2942 U.S. Route 34, next to Poke Bros. restaurant, which serves Hawaiian style fresh fish poke bowls.

The ice cream chain had previously been located at 2980 U.S. Route 34 in Oswego.

“They were here many years ago and are going to be coming back,” Oswego Economic Development Director Kevin Leighty said during a recent Oswego Economic Development Commission meeting. “They have applied for their buildout permit.”

He said Cold Stone Creamery will likely open before the start of summer. Oswego Village President Ryan Kauffman couldn’t be happier.

“I love Cold Stone Creamery,” he said. “Their banana ice cream is one of my favorites. So I’ll be the first one there.”

Cold Stone Creamery also has locations in Shorewood, Romeoville and Lockport.
