MilkShake Factory Opens in Columbus and Mason

The MilkShake Factory, a century-old dessert chain, is expanding into Ohio with grand openings in both Mason and Columbus on May 31. The Mason store, operated by Tracy and Joe Carter, and the Columbus store near the University District and Short North, will both feature handspun shakes, premium chocolates, and a variety of grand opening promotions, including buy one, get one free deals, a live DJ, free t-shirts for the first 100 guests, and a special prize for the first customer in line. Both new Ohio locations will be open daily from noon to 10 p.m. This expansion is part of a broader growth plan that includes additional Ohio locations in development. The MilkShake Factory now operates over 20 locations across 15 states, continuing its legacy of combining classic chocolate craftsmanship with modern treats. (Note: Information about the Bay and Berry Cafe opening in Erie, Pennsylvania is unrelated to the MilkShake Factory expansion.)
