COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — Even though a recent snowstorm hit parts of Colorado, it's always good weather for ice cream! A remodeled Baskin-Robbins will celebrate its grand reopening Saturday in Colorado Springs with discounted ice cream, giveaways and a charitable donation to a local nonprofit.
The Colorado Springs shop, located at 6048 Stetson Hills Blvd., just east of Powers, will host a reopening event from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on May 9 featuring 31-cent ice cream scoops, music, branded merchandise giveaways and a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The store reopened on April 17 after temporarily closing in 2025 for a full remodel following its acquisition by franchise group Allied Enterprises, LLC, owned by local residents Catherine and Danisch Rana.
During the event, the franchise group and the Baskin-Robbins Joy in Childhood Foundation will present a $10,000 grant to First Descents, a nonprofit that provides outdoor programs for young adults affected by cancer and other serious health conditions.
The remodeled, 1,800-square-foot shop seats 30 guests, employs 10 crew members and is open daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
