For Immediate Release: Monday, March 14, 2022
Temperatures this week will start in the 60s and reach the 70s by Thursday…just in time for Jimmie Cone’s opening on March 17th.
Jimmie Cone has been serving soft serve ice cream and frozen yogurt in Damascus since 1962, which make this year its 60th season! One of the reasons Jimmie Cone’s soft serve ice cream is loved by many could be because it is made with 10 percent butterfat, which is approximately twice as much as in McDonald’s and Dairy Queen soft serve. Cars usually pack the Damascus location on warmer days with long lines that move relatively quick.
