Major grocery chain gives 1000s of customers free ice cream
Hot summer days are the perfect time to relax with a nice serving of ice cream. For some communities, the sound of music playing from an ice cream truck prompts children, teens, and parents to race to the curb of their street to stop the truck to buy a frozen treat before it passes by. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter For those areas lacking a local ice cream truck, a trip to Baskin-Robbins, Cold Stone Creamery, or Dairy Queen might be the solution to that frozen treat craving. Related: Major grocery chain using self-driving robots for deliveries If one of those options is not available, a trip to the local grocery store to buy some ice cream will solve your problem. And consumers have several choices to consider when buying that refreshing treat. Name-brand ice cream choices that you can find at most grocery stores include Dreyer's (known as Eddy's in some areas), Breyers, Ben & Jerry's, Blue Bunny, Tillamook, and Häagen-Dazs. The competition for ice cream sales is so fierce that many national and regional grocery chains and big-box retailers have their own private label brands to entice consumers. For Costco members, Kirkland Signature ice cream, with a limited number of flavors, is available. Target in 2021 launched its private label ice cream brand Favorite Day, and Walmart launched its latest private label ice cream in April 2024 to go with its Great Value brand, known as bettergoods. The private label offers dairy and plant-based options for customers. To compete with the big boxes, national and regional grocery chains offer private labels to consumers as well. Publix stores offer their Premium brand of ice cream, as well as their organic GreenWise brand. Albertsons, Vons, and Safeway stores have for years sold their Signature Select private label, and Whole Foods offers its 365 private label brand.

This year, the nationwide grocer is doubling down on its offer, giving away more than double last year's 45,000 pints. On Friday, Kroger will make available a downloadable coupon giving away 92,000 pints of its Kroger brand ice cream or, according to a news release, 1,000 pints for each of summer's 92 days.

According to a Kroger news release, the offer isn't valid in California, Colorado, Louisiana, Tennessee and Nevada or at its Mariano's, Metro Market, Pick 'n Save and QFC stores.

The coupon is valid from Friday through the Fourth of July. When Kroger offered the free, downloadable coupon last year, coupon supplies were depleted shortly after the 8 a.m. release.
