Jeremy and Kaitlyn Carlson hope a Shark bites on Crispy Cones, their soft serve ice cream franchise opportunity with a new twist on the ice cream cone, in Shark Tank episode 1421. They serve their soft serve ice cream in cones made from fresh dough and grilled rotisserie-style then covered with cinnamon and sugar or crushed Oreos. They fill the cones with choice of spread (think Nutella or peanut butter), gourmet soft-serve ice cream, fruit, and a variety of delicious toppings.
Jeremy first encountered the cones while doing missionary work for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Czech Republic. He believed folks in the USA would like them, so he opened a trailer to sell them while he was a studentBrigham Young University. He and his wife opened their first storefront in Logan, Utah in May 2020 and a second in Rexburg, Idaho shortly thereafter.
Apparently, Jeremy was right. People love his cones. The couple’s goal is to franchise the concept. There’s a franchise application on their website. They likely want a Shark who’s had experience with franchising to help them grow their new concept.
