Those of you in the UK have probably heard of Shakeaway. Basically a mlkshake shop where you can choose from over a hundred different incredients, mostly chocolate bars and the like, to be blended into a milkshake. I was in an IRC channel today were some Americans were discussing Cold Stone Creamery, an ice cream shop where you select a type of ice cream and then choose from a selction of sweets to be blended into the ice cream and finally choose a topping. Now I had the idea that Shakeaway could easily combine what Cold Stone do into their existing business so I could enjoy what Cold Stone do here in England. As such, I decided to email them with this idea, I wonder what they'll say in response :P

Even if nothing comes of it, it does say on Cold Stone's site that they are currently "aggressively seeking Master Franchisees" in the UK amongst other locations so maybe it won't be so long until they pop up here anyway :)

Edit: Got a reply at 2am this morning -

Hi,
Thanks for that email and the info. By the way, please don't think I send emails in the middle of the night - I'm actually in New Zealand getting the first Kiwi ShakeAway shop ready for opening in a couple of weeks, and we are 11 hours ahead of the UK!
We have seen this idea before and like it, and although we are happy to concentrate on our MilkShake for the time being (we are expanding quite a lot this year so don't want to diversify at the moment), we take on board your thoughts and you never know, we might have Ice Cream at ShakeAway in the future!
Thanks for emailing and for being a Fan!
Rob @ ShakeAway


Sounds like he's high on his own supply considering he ended almost every sentence with an exclamation point :P
