Häagen-Dazs have been offering honey bee support for 10 years now and to celebrate the brand will be hosting a Free Cone Day at select locations.
The brand wants to treat its loyal customers, while celebrating its business milestone. This event makes for the perfect excuse to go for a walk and enjoy the warm weather all while remembering the vital role honey bees play in everyday life. The ice cream brand's flavors heavily rely on honey bees, and Häagen-Dazs has been supporting honey bee research and preservation with over $1 million in donations.
The celebratory promotion offers a free cone to anyone who stops by on May 8th between the hours of 4pm and 8pm.
