The Company was co-founded in 1988 by Donald and Susan Sutherland, who sought ice cream that was neither hard - packed nor soft - serve. Publicity materials describe it as "smooth and creamy super-premium ice cream. '' Cold Stone Creamery opened its first store that year in Tempe, Arizona. The original Cold Stone Creamery, store # 0001, is in operation today near the same intersection (southwest corner of McClintock & Southern) as the original Tempe location. The store moved from the original location to the current location in the early 1990s.
